Going to Work, 1863
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching by Jean-Francois Millet that captures the essence of rural life in the 19th century. The print showcases a group of hardworking labourers departing for their daily jobs amidst a picturesque landscape. In this scene, we witness the beauty and simplicity of morning in the countryside as peasants make their way through vast fields and farmland. The artist's realist approach allows us to connect with these anonymous workers on an intimate level, appreciating their dedication and resilience. The composition highlights both male and female labourers, each adorned in traditional attire such as straw hats and clogs. Their headdresses symbolize their connection to nature while emphasizing their role as agricultural workers. With tools like pitchforks and ploughs in hand, they embody strength and determination. As they walk towards distant farmhouses, we can almost feel the weight of their responsibilities on their shoulders. This image serves as a reminder of the noble work carried out by these individuals who sustain our society through farming and agriculture. Millet's masterful use of light brings warmth to this rustic scene, evoking a sense of tranquility despite the laborious tasks ahead. It invites us to take a momentary stroll alongside these dedicated workers as they embark on another day filled with purpose. This timeless piece from Bridgeman Images not only celebrates the beauty found within everyday life but also pays homage to those whose tireless efforts shape our world behind-the-scenes
