Who's Jean Francois Millet? What kind of life does he live?

Perhaps none of us are particularly familiar with Miller, but we must know one of his works, that is, gleaner. Bian Xiao remembers that this painting appeared in the art textbook of Bianxiao Primary School. In fact, Miller is the most beloved painter in the history of modern French painting, because his paintings are close to people's lives, especially the daily life of workers, and often appear in his paintings. Then I briefly introduced him, and then Bian Xiao will tell you about his life experience.

First of all, Miller was born in a peasant family, so his childhood life was not particularly good, but he liked painting very much when he was young. Then, at the age of 23, he went to Paris to study painting and studied under the painter Delaroche. Although many students in the studio often look down on him and dislike that he comes from rural and mountainous areas, even teachers will not like him, but he still endured all this. Later, he was badly hit in Paris because his wife died and he himself died. He was poor, so in order to make a living and make money, he began to sketch people and traded sketches for things.

Then Miller has a special affection for nature and country life. Because he grew up in this environment, he gets up early every day and has to wait until late to go home. He paints through opaque objects. Although he has no money to buy paints or other painting tools, these realistic conditions have not weakened his passion and pursuit of art. He loves life, labor, farmers and painting more.

Then many of his works have very high achievements, such as The Sower collected by Boston Art Museum. Shepherdess is collected in the Orsay Art Museum in Paris; The Late Bell is a cloth painting, which is collected in the Louvre in Paris. So we can see that he is a very good painter.
