EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "The Sower, after Millet" transports viewers to the rural landscapes of 19th-century France. Created by Matthijs Maris in c. 1881-82, this artwork pays homage to the renowned French Barbizon painter Jean-Francois Millet. Measuring at 19.5x16.3 cm, this small yet powerful image captures the essence of daily life for a solitary worker in Normandy's fields. The realism and attention to detail showcased in this piece highlight Maris' skill as an engraver and his ability to breathe life into his subjects. With its focus on agricultural labor and subsistence farming, "The Sower" offers a glimpse into the hardworking existence of peasants during that era. The figure depicted is a man diligently sowing seeds across a vast field, embodying the resilience and determination required for survival in those times. Through its use of light and shadow, Maris masterfully conveys both the physicality of manual labor and the spiritual connection between man and nature. This print serves as a testament to the importance of agriculture as well as an ode to those who tirelessly worked on farms like Gruchy Farmhouse. Housed within Amsterdam's prestigious Rijksmuseum, this lithograph continues to inspire viewers with its evocative portrayal of rural life in France during the late 19th century.
