The Angelus [Ask Us A Question] Title: The Angelus 1857-59 Artist: Jean Francois Millet (1814-1875) Oil on canvas 21 3/4 x 26 in. (55.5 x 66 cm) Musee d'Orsay, Paris Description: "The Angelus is an austere page, an intimate poem and perhaps Millet's masterpiece. This painting, famous from its first day, is destined to become more celebrated still. It was beautiful at its origin, but has increased with time. It had taken on even more universal acclaim and status. Under the fading light of sunset, in the silence of quiet tones, The Angelus is solemn like a prayer. " The value of The Angelus as a symbol of spiritual renewal and a return to a preindustrial past seems to have struck a deep chord when La vie et l'oeuvre de J.-F. Millet appeared in 1881, at which point some of the physical scars of 1870-71 still remained in Paris. Millet had found comfort and forgiveness in his return to simple, provincial values, and the nation, by embracing the story of this once-spurned artist, could discover analogous salvation for the perceived sins of the Second Empire. Puvis de Chavannes must have been cognizant of the sudden cultural resonance of The Angelus. His Poor Fisherman debuted at the Salon in the same year as the publication of Sensier's book. Comparisons of the two artists were then common, and it has been suggested that Millet's male peasant inspired the pose of Puvis's fisherman. The Angelus also changed hands again in 1881, and its monetary value appears to reflect its new cultural worth. Wilson sold The Angelus at auction to the French copper magnate Secretan for 160,000 francs, more than four times what he had paid for it less than a decade earlier and several times more than Millet's works had garnered at sales in the mid-and late 1870s. The description in the sale catalogue further bathed the painting in the language of celebrity and rustic piety. Media: Genuine 100% Hand Painted Oil Paintings On Canvas.
