About the piece
Jean-François Millet's 'The Sower' is a quintessential example of the Barbizon School's focus on rural life. This work captures a lone figure in mid-stride, his form anchoring a landscape defined by soft light and the rich textures of freshly ploughed earth. Executed with a masterful sense of atmosphere, it reflects the dignity and quiet rhythm of peasant life in 19th-century France.
