About the piece
Created around 1858 by Jean-François Millet, this masterpiece of the Barbizon school depicts a lone shepherd leading his flock across a darkened field. The composition is defined by the striking red sun dipping below the horizon, which imbues the humble agricultural scene with a sense of quiet grandeur and timelessness, reflecting the artist's deep respect for peasant life.
