Jean-François Millet (1814 -1875) | Lo stile

Dal punto di vista stilistico Millet fu assai sensibile all'offensiva realista di Gustave Courbet, dal quale prese ispirazione nel realizzare quadri diretti e privi di abbellimenti e dipingervi soggetti sino ad allora considerati triviali ed indegni di rappresentazione pittorica (in questo caso il lavoro quotidiano dei contadini).
A differenza degli altri pittori realisti, tuttavia, Millet non utilizzò i suoi dipinti come strumento di denuncia sociale e, anzi, spesso li ricolmò con intensi coinvolgimenti lirici e sentimentali: questo fu uno degli aspetti più criticati dagli altri artisti e critici, come Cézanne, che paragonava i dipinti di Millet ad una «vecchia ghiandola lacrimale».
Malgrado ciò, le opere millettiane si distinguono per l'essenzialità geometrica delle forme, la regolarità e armonia delle composizioni, il meditato equilibrio tra le luci e le ombre e per il bilanciamento tra macchie e tonalismi dei colori: sono tutte caratteristiche che rivelano un'impostazione classica, oltre che una ponderata riflessione compiuta sugli archetipi rinascimentali.
