JEAN-FRANÇOIS MILLET

PEARS, ABOUT 1862-66

About the Artwork

The fruit and flowers included in still life paintings are often rare and expensive varieties. But Millet believed in the beauty of common things, even simple pears from a rural garden. "Who would dare to claim," he asked, "that a potato is inferior to a pomegranate?"
