Reckoning with Millet's "Man with a Hoe," 1863–1900

This volume situates the portrayal of a peasant bowed over by brutal toil in the arc of Jean-François Millet’s (1814-1875) career and traces its fascinating and contentious reception, from its scandalous debut at the 1863 Paris Salon to the years following its acquisition by American collectors in the 1890s.
