Millet devoted a substantial part of his oeuvre to depicting the life of ordinary people, openly addressing the hardships of the rural poor. In his paintings, peasants and the countryside are transformed into monumental epic images through which the artist pays tribute to labor, to everyday existence, and to the beauty of real life.
Millet’s most famous paintings include The Gleaners, The Angelus, and Man with a Hoe. These works convey respect for ordinary people and draw attention to the hardships of their lives. Millet employed simple compositions and warm tones to create powerful emotional images. Many of his paintings are now housed in major museums, including the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
