EDITORS COMMENTS
The Spinner" is a captivating 19th century art print created by the renowned French artist, Jean Francois Millet. This enchanting work of art, dated 1868-69, showcases a solitary figure of a woman in a rural setting. The woman is depicted in the act of spinning, her focus intently on her task, while her feet are clad in traditional clogs and boots. The intricately etched and drypoint on ivory laid paper captures the raw beauty and authenticity of rural life in France during this era. Millet's mastery of the Barbizon School style is evident in the muted tones and earthy textures of the print. The woman's simple, rustic dress and the worn hat on her head are reminiscent of the traditional clothing worn in rural communities during this time. The use of black and white in the print adds to the timeless and nostalgic feel, transporting us back to a simpler era. The Spinner is a testament to Millet's dedication to capturing the essence of the everyday life of the common people. The woman's occupation as a textile worker, spinning wool into yarn, is a nod to the importance of craft and industry in rural communities during the 19th century. Millet's artistic vision and attention to detail make this print a cherished piece of heritage art, showcasing the beauty and dignity of rural life and the importance of traditional crafts. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, fashion, and the evolution of artistic movements. The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to have this masterpiece in its collection, allowing visitors to appreciate the artistic skill and cultural significance of Jean Francois Millet's The Spinner.
