Exhibition History

French Drawings in the Time of Degas

August 19, 2005 - January 22, 2006

Millet was a member of the group of painters who worked from nature in and around the village of Barbizon, some 25 miles southwest of Paris on the edge of the forest of Fontainebleau. They developed a new, naturalistic style of landscape painting in the 1830s and 1840s. These works were admired by collectors of the time, but Degas did not share this enthusiasm and collected only Millet’ s figure studies.
