Le Depart Por Le Travail, 1863
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Jean Francois Millet captures the essence of rural life in 19th century France. In this monochrome print, we see a couple leaving their humble abode to embark on a day of hard work in the fields. The man and woman walk side by side, carrying their tools on their shoulders as they make their way through the farmland. Millet, a prominent artist from the Barbizon school, masterfully depicts the arduousness of agricultural labor during that era. The etching beautifully portrays the dedication and resilience of these farm workers who tirelessly toiled under the open sky. The composition evokes a sense of unity between man and nature as they harmoniously coexist in this rustic setting. The simplicity and starkness of black and white add depth to Millet's portrayal, emphasizing both physical exertion and emotional fortitude. This particular print is featured in "The Print-Collectors Handbook" written by Alfred Whitman in 1901. It serves as a testament to Millet's enduring influence on artistic schools throughout history. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where manual labor was essential for survival. It reminds us of our connection with nature and pays homage to those who dedicated themselves to cultivating our land.
