EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white drawing, titled "Pasture in Normandy" by Jean Francois Millet, dates back to the late 19th century, around 1870-71. Millet, a prominent figure in the Barbizon School of French painting and drawing, is renowned for his realistic and emotional portrayals of rural life. This particular work, executed in black crayon on ivory laid paper, showcases Millet's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of the pastoral scene. The drawing transports us to the rolling hills of Normandy, France, where a lone figure tends to the land, surrounded by the beauty of nature. The pasture is dotted with cows grazing peacefully, while trees frame the scene, their branches reaching out to touch the sky. The artist's masterful use of outlines and contrasts between light and shadow creates a striking visual effect, highlighting the textures of the plants and the undulating terrain. Millet's "Pasture in Normandy" is a testament to the artistic movement's commitment to capturing the natural world in its raw and unadulterated form. The drawing invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of rural life and the enduring beauty of the natural world. This rare and captivating work is a valuable addition to the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, providing a glimpse into the artistic heritage of France during the 19th century.
