Jean-François Millet and John Everett Millais
John Everett Millais (1829 – 1896 ) was an English Pre-Raphaelite painter (one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood) who painted colourful (too colourful?) paintings – mostly of people.
His most famous painting is probably Ophelia, lying back with her arms surrendering to the current.
Jean-François Millet (1814 – 1875) was a French painter and one of the founders of the Barbizon school in rural France.
Millet painted realistic rural scenes of peasant farmers, sheep, trees in a muted palette, paintings that were nonetheless romantic.
