Millet, Barbizon and Fontainebleau (Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, Tokyo)

The immediate vicinity, exhibition was held at the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum of Tokyo Station.

From the name of the exhibition, most of It thinks whether works of Millet, Corot, Theodore Rousseau, such as Troyon, also works of writers of the Barbizon School, had been exhibited several points together.

Among them, work of de la Peña is, remained in deep impression.

Speaking of de la Peña, it is not a very famous painter. The exhibition of the Barbizon School, to the extent of painter to be exhibited several points, yourself, until this, did not come to be so much attention.

For some reason, in this exhibition, from the front of the work, and could not quite Leaving thing.

Forest outback, trails through the forest nearby Fontainebleau, Forest Path, three works that had been exhibited alongside.

De la Peña is a rough touch, using a variety of green color, the depth of the forest, are drawn to really impressive.

Simply beautiful, rather than the feeling of forest that, a little, feel the fear. Forest is concealed, I feel the nature of the wild. It is, attractive picture of de la Peña.

Well, the main theme of Millet.

Natural landscape drawn by the Millet, early, is loved by wealthy citizens of Boston, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is, that in the world boasts a collection of one of the best Millet.

In this exhibition, famous, people who sow the seeds, were exhibited.

Much like a picture of people who sow this seed, but farmers drawn by the Millet, its expression is not drawn clearly.

Millet, the farmers of Barbizon village, it is not at all interested in is as an individual, was hardly exchange, that there is also a story, by the fault, the personality of the subject Awarasu, did not think try to draw a fine expression maybe.

Alternatively, if favorably interpreted Millet, in order to draw the farmers as a universal presence, dare, did not draw a fine expression, and is also considered.

In any case, painter named Millet is, rural landscape and farmers, has established a genre of new paintings that, that is, wonder no doubt.
