"The Angelus"

Jean-François Millet (i)
A Masterpiece of Realism and Devotion
Jean-François Millet's The Angelus, completed between 1857 and 1859, is a remarkable oil painting that showcases the artist's unique ability to capture the essence of rural life while expressing deep religious devotion. This masterpiece is available as a handmade oil painting reproduction or print on canvas at WahooArt.com.
The Inspiration Behind 'The Angelus'
Millet drew inspiration for this painting from his childhood memories of working in the fields with his grandmother, who would stop to say the Angelus prayer upon hearing the church bell ringing. The painting features two peasants bowing in a field over a basket of potatoes as they recite the prayer, creating an evocative and poignant scene that resonates with viewers even today.
Interpretations and Controversies
Initially, The Angelus was interpreted as a political statement, with Millet viewed as a socialist in solidarity with the workers. However, the painting transcends politics and expresses a profound sense of religious devotion that has captivated audiences for generations. Despite its humble subject matter, The Angelus triggered a rush of patriotic fervour when the Louvre tried to buy it in 1889 and was vandalized by a madman in 1932.
