EDITORS COMMENTS
The Devil Sowing," a captivating pencil drawing on ivory laid paper faded to cream by the renowned French artist Jean Francois Millet (1814-1875), dates back to the 1840s. This evocative artwork is a testament to Millet's mastery of the Barbian School, a significant artistic movement that emerged in the mid-19th century in the rural community of Barbizon, France. The drawing depicts an intriguing scene of the devil sowing in a field, a concept that challenges the conventional representation of good and evil. Millet's use of graphite in this monochromatic work adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the devil's mischievous expression and the undulating farmland to life. The Devil Sowing is a striking example of Millet's artistic vision, which often explored the relationship between humans and nature. The drawing invites viewers to ponder the role of the devil in the natural world and the cycle of life and death. This precious artwork is now part of the vast collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences. The drawing's rich heritage and historical significance make it an essential addition to any art center or gallery, offering a glimpse into the artistic school of the 19th century and the legacy of Jean Francois Millet.
