“This book chronicles a summer spent in the little hamlet of Barbizon, on the borders of the Forest of Fontainebleau, among the artists Millet, Corot, Rousseau, and Barye. All 73 plates are faced with tissue-guards.”
“Detailed biographical exploration of the French painter Jean-François Millet. Traces him from his humble beginnings as a peasant's son to his recognition as a master of the Barbizon school. Analyzes Millet's development as an artist, exploring the influences of his early life, his artistic training, and the social and cultural context of 19th-century France. Examines Millet's enduring legacy as an artist who found beauty and dignity in rural life and whose poignant and realistic portrayals of peasants and farmers continue to resonate.”
“Charles Sprague Smith (1853-1910) was a Columbia University professor, best known for being the founder and director of the People's Institute.”
