Jean-François Millet The Keeper of the Herd
1871-74
Although Millet was a more a Naturalist painter than a Realist painter, I feel his art comes much closer to achieving a sense of reverence and the sublime akin to Medieval Christian art. Only in essence— the form is very Renaissance although the overall style is still very much Millet. I love staring at this one at the AIC.
