EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Olivier de Serres" and created by the renowned French artist Jean Francois Millet in 1858, showcases a thoughtful and introspective Olivier de Serres, a man of great heritage and significance in the agricultural world. The image, a lithotint on gray china paper laid down on ivory wove paper, captures the essence of the Barbizon School art movement and the artistic school of thought that emerged during the 19th century. Millet, a master of his craft, expertly employs the use of lithography to bring depth and dimension to the oval-shaped portrait of Olivier de Serres. Olivier de Serres, depicted here in a contemplative pose, was not only an author and agricultural expert but also a man of various occupations. He is best known for his influential agricultural text, "Théâtre d'Agriculture et Médecine," which was published in 1600. The text was widely read and influenced agricultural practices throughout Europe. Millet's portrait of Olivier de Serres serves as a tribute to the man's intellectual prowess and his contributions to the agricultural community. This evocative piece, now part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Jean Francois Millet and the Barbizon School. Millet's masterful use of black and white tones adds a sense of timelessness to the image, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, agriculture, or the human condition.
