The book is a biography written during the early 20th century and is part of the "Masterpieces in Colour" series, which highlights notable artists. The likely topic of the book focuses on Millet's artistic journey, his philosophy regarding the human condition, and how his upbringing shaped his perspective on the laboring class. In this detailed account, Turner explores Millet's humble beginnings as the son of a peasant in Normandy and traces his struggle for recognition in the art world, moving through his migration to Paris and his eventual maturity as an artist. Millet is depicted as a sensitive soul who found profound inspiration in the everyday lives of the rural working class. Turner's analysis underscores Millet's philosophical approach to art, revealing how he captured the dignity and hardships of peasant existence in masterpieces such as "The Gleaners" and "The Angelus." The book addresses both the hardships Millet faced throughout his life, including poverty and societal rejection, and the profound impact his work has had on the portrayal of manual labor in art, emphasizing the poetical essence that characterizes his paintings.
