Winter, The Plain of Chailly, c. 1862-66 (pastel on paper)
4054126 Winter, The Plain of Chailly, c.1862-66 (pastel on paper) by Millet, Jean-Francois (1814-75); 72.4x95.9 cm; Burrell Collection, Glasgow, Scotland; (add.info.: In this large and magnificent pastel, a desolate expanse of land and sky, Millet captures the cold, almost-frosty chill of a winter's day. Strong but subtle notes of blue, green and brown enliven the grey scene, which is further brightened by the sudden gleam of light from the horizon. The lines of pastel, with their insistent directional pattern, draw us into the great plain of Chailly and towards the distant tower - past the harrow, the heaps of straw, the plough and the flight of crows.); © CSG CIC Glasgow Museums Collection; Gifted by Sir William and Lady Burrell to the City of Glasgow, 1944

Winter, The Plain of Chailly
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pastel print by Jean-Francois Millet that transports viewers to a desolate winter landscape. With masterful strokes of blue, green, and brown, Millet brings life to the otherwise grey scene, infusing it with subtle hints of color. The cold and frosty atmosphere is palpable as one gazes upon the vast expanse of land and sky. The composition draws us in with its insistent directional lines that lead our eyes towards the distant tower on the horizon. Along this journey, we encounter elements of rural life - a harrow, heaps of straw, a plough - all abandoned in the wintry stillness. A flight of crows adds an eerie touch to the scene. Millet's attention to detail captures not only the physical aspects but also evokes emotions associated with winter. The sudden gleam of light from the horizon offers a glimmer of hope amidst the bleakness. It reminds us that even in harsh conditions, there can be moments of beauty and warmth. This artwork showcases Millet's mastery as both a painter and storyteller. Through his realist approach, he invites us into this deserted plain where nature reigns supreme during winter's grip. "Winter, The Plain of Chailly" serves as a timeless reminder that even in solitude and emptiness, there is profound beauty waiting to be discovered.
