The Winnower
Artist: Jean-François Millet (French, 1814 - 1875)
Original Dimensions: 39 5/8" x 28"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (About 1847-8) "In a gloomy barn a winnower holds a wide, shallow basket with no lip at the front. With skilful shaking, the chaff could be worked to the front and tipped over the edge, leaving the grain behind. This painting is one of Millet’s first to treat the theme of peasant life. He exhibited it to some acclaim at the Salon of 1848, the year of the revolution that led to the downfall of King Louis-Philippe and the establishment of the Second Republic. One of the factors leading up to the revolution was rural distress, including bad harvests, and many commentators discern a political angle in the painting, or at least sympathy on the part of the artist towards agricultural workers. At this stage in his career Millet often reused his canvases. This picture is painted over a sequence of limbs, possibly studies of naked figures Millet had carried out as part of his training." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
