Jean-François Millet (4 October 1814 ? 20 January 1875) was a French artist and one of the founders of the Barbizon school in rural France, according to his Wikipedia entry, "noted for his paintings of peasant farmers and can be categorized as part of the Realism art movement. Toward the end of his career, he became increasingly interested in painting pure landscapes. He is known best for his oil paintings but is also noted for his pastels, Conté crayon drawings, and etchings." Millet is considered to have inspired Vincent van Gogh and even to Claude Monet, Georges Seurat and others. He is famous for "The Gleaners," "L'homme à la houe," and for inspiring poems by Edwin Markham and David Middleton (Wikipedia).Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
