EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print, titled "The Two Cows" by Jean Francois Millet, showcases the beauty and simplicity of rural life. Created around 1847, this engraving and drypoint in reddish brown ink on blue green laid paper is a testament to Millet's deep connection with the natural world and his commitment to the Barbizon School of artistic expression. Millet, a French painter and printmaker, masterfully captures the essence of farming and livestock farming through this powerful image of two cows grazing in a field. The cows, with their strong, sturdy forms and expressive eyes, embody the hardworking spirit of rural labor. The farmer, depicted as a solitary figure in the background, adds a sense of isolation and contemplation to the scene. The Two Cows is a prime example of Millet's artistic style, which was characterized by its naturalism, regionalism, and focus on the everyday lives of rural people. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the importance of agriculture and the connection between people and the land. On display at the Art Institute of Chicago, this print is a testament to Millet's enduring influence on the art world and his role as a pioneer of the Barbizon School. Whether admired for its historical significance or its aesthetic beauty, The Two Cows continues to captivate and inspire viewers, inviting us to appreciate the simple pleasures of rural life.
