Millet Jean-Francois
(1814-75)
The son of a small peasant farmer of Gréville in Normandy,
Millet showed a precocious interest in drawing, and arrived in Paris in
1838 to become a pupil of Paul Delaroche. He had to fight against great
odds, living for long a life of extreme penury. He exhibited at the
Salon for the first time in 1840, and married two years later. At this
time, the main influences on him were
Poussin
and Eustache Le Sueur, and the type
of work he produced consisted predominantly of mythological subjects or
portraiture, at which he was especially adept (Portrait of a Naval
Officer, 1845; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rouen).
