Episode Synopsis "14. Jean-Francois Millet"

Born a peasant, he proudly proclaimed that he would die a peasant. All he had ever known was rural country life, hard-working farmers toiling over the earth. These scenes would influence his art like nothing else could. And he, in turn, would influence two of the best-known artists of all time. In this episode, we'll talk about Jean-Francois Millet, as well as his most famous work, The Gleaners.
