Have been flat out with work recently, so nothing interesting to post. Here's a version of Millet's 'Man with Hoe' that I saw at The Getty recently. It's a painting I got back to (along with the Ensor's 'Christ Entering Brussels') over and over again. I'm interested in the social message vs. the romanticism of his images, especially in the dusky sunsets he often portrays them in. Jules Breton fits into this mode as well, along with one of my favourite paintings of his in Chicago, 'The Sky Larks'.
