The story of the life and work of French painter Jean-François Millet (1814-1875), written by his friend, confidante and correspondent Alfred Sensier.
"For more than thirty years we lived Millet's life, receiving his confidences and complaints, and knowing his innermost thoughts. We loved him; he knew our affection for him, and withheld no confidences from us.
Millet had a suffering and melancholy nature, but he was first of all a man of strong convictions. Faithful and proud in his religion and his art, to these he sacrificed pleasure, repose, and even his life, which was shortened by his struggles.
We therefore publish a life of Millet from his own words and testimony. There is nothing to hide. Everything is healthy, pure, and instructive."
