The Shepherdess,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating woodcut on tan Japanese paper by Jean Francois Millet, painted in 1863, presents a poignant image of rural life in France during the 19th century. The print showcases a young shepherdess, dressed in traditional country attire, seated on a grassy knoll amidst a rolling countryside. Her simple yet elegant cloak, with its intricate folds and textured fabric, is a testament to the artistic mastery of Millet's brush. Millet, a prominent figure in the Barbizon School, was known for his dedication to capturing the authenticity of rural life. This woodcut, much like his other works, embodies the artistic movement of regionalism, which sought to celebrate the beauty and simplicity of the countryside. The shepherdess, with her melancholic expression and downcast gaze, exudes a sense of sadness and introspection. Her posture, with her hands resting on her knees, adds to the overall sense of stillness and contemplation. The print's use of contrasting shades of black and white highlights the textures of her clothing and the intricacies of her surroundings. This evocative print, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of France and the enduring appeal of rural life. The Shepherdess, with her timeless beauty and haunting sadness, continues to captivate viewers and inspire artists to this day.
