The Sower by Jean-François Millet

The Sower (1850)

Jean-François Millet | Realism / Barbizon School | Oil on canvas

A farmer strides across a shadowy field, throwing seeds from his bag with a powerful sweep of his arm. The sky glows golden behind him as he works hard to grow food for everyone.

Did you know? Vincent van Gogh loved Millet's sower so much that he copied it in several of his own paintings, in much brighter colors! Millet was a farmer's son, and he painted the hard lives of country workers with dignity.
