About the piece
Painted by Jean-François Millet between 1857 and 1859, 'The Angelus' is one of the most famous works of 19th-century Realism. It depicts two peasants in a field pausing their harvest to pray at the sound of the distant church bell. The soft, atmospheric light of the setting sun creates a reverent mood, highlighting Millet's focus on the dignity of labor and spiritual life.
