Millet is a painter who exalts peasant life, simple things, and everyday life. He is an artist of realism, although he usually adds to his works a minimum quota of idealism, which is noticeable in the admiration he professes for the humble.

We can imagine how he was attacked and despised at the time, since this "glorification" irritated the bourgeoisie, who were the ones who "consumed" art.
