Descripción
A moody, atmospheric etching by Jean-Francois Millet depicting two fishermen in a boat under the light of a full moon.
Jean-Francois Millet, a central figure of the Barbizon School, produced this etching during the latter part of his career. The work depicts two figures in a small boat, silhouetted against the light of a full moon. The composition relies on the contrast between the dark, textured forms of the boat and the luminous reflection of the moon upon the water. Millet uses the etching medium to create a sense of atmosphere, employing fine, horizontal lines to suggest the movement of the sea and the hazy quality of the night air.
Unlike his earlier, more detailed depictions of rural labour, this work focuses on the quiet, solitary nature of the fishermen. The figures are reduced to dark shapes, their specific features obscured by the low light. This approach directs the viewer to the mood of the scene rather than the individual identities of the subjects. The horizontal orientation of the lines across the plate creates a rhythmic quality, drawing the eye across the surface of the water toward the moon.
This print demonstrates Millet's technical skill in printmaking, a practice he pursued alongside his painting. By limiting the palette to shades of brown and black, he achieves a tonal depth that mimics the effects of oil paint. The work captures a moment of stillness, reflecting the artist's interest in the daily lives of those who worked close to nature. It remains a clear example of his ability to convey human presence within a vast, natural environment through minimal visual information. The print is a study in light and shadow, showing the artist's capacity to evoke a specific time of day and a particular emotional state through the careful application of ink and line.

Artist Biography
Jean Francois Millet
Millet could plough a field in the morning, paint in the afternoon, and recite Shakespeare at night. He was the eldest son of farming parents in Gruchy, Normandy, near the coast, and he said: a peasant I was born, a peasant I will die.
Two village priests educated him in Latin and literature before he was pulled back to farm work. He eventually reached Paris, where he lived in poverty for a period, painting in a damp cellar. His first wife died of tuberculosis three years after their 1841 marriage. He later had nine children with Catherine Lemaire.
The Gleaners (1857) and The Angelus (1857-59) made him famous and controversial. Both depict peasants at work with a dignity that unnerved the bourgeoisie, who saw political radicalism in the simple act of painting agricultural labourers as worthy subjects. The Angelus became one of the most widely reproduced images in the world.
Van Gogh was obsessed with him. While in the asylum at Saint-Remy in late 1889 and early 1890, Van Gogh made twenty-one copies of Millet's paintings over three months, translating them into his own colour and brushwork. Millet died in 1875, co-founder of the Barbizon school and the painter who gave peasant life a permanent place in art.
