Barns - Autumn

The painting shows an idyllic rural scene with large haylofts and a flock of sheep grazing in a field. The sky is more dramatic with dark clouds and light shining through the clouds. The landscape is vast and appears warm and peaceful. In the background we can see trees and faintly hinted outlines of buildings, suggesting that this is not a barren landscape but rather a place close to human settlement.

Jean-Francois Millet (1814-1875). At the outset of his career, he refused the stereotyped concept of painting and became a free portrait painter. He influenced Impressionists through his selection of topics: he painted simple people, poor farmers and the humility of hardworking people. He loved the countryside where he lived, devoted a lot of energy for rural people. Millet’s paintings are characterized by an interesting, gold and melancholy light that gives his landscapes a religious character. The Angelus - church bells in the distance strike as two people say a prayer of thanks for the harvest (ironically, the Louvre auctioned this painting for an astronomical sum). Gleaners. The monumentality of characters achieved through simplification of the environment (which was later used by Seurat) is clamped from above by the horizon. The image probably expresses the oppression of peasants (especially women without voting rights) after 1848.
