米勒是19世纪法国最伟大的画家之一,为什么一直以来他都被人们称为“农民画家”呢? 米勒出生于法国的农村诺曼底。年轻时他曾到过巴黎学画,当时的巴黎是欧洲最繁华的都市,但对于米勒来说,巴黎的物价太昂贵了。于是他离开了巴黎,来到巴黎附近一个叫巴比松的小村庄定居下来,在这里,米勒上午耕地以养活自己和家人,下午则在家里画画。

Miller was one of the nineteenth-century French greatest painters, why he has been called “peasant painter” all the time? Miller was born in France’s rural Normandy. When he was young, he had been to Paris to learn painting, then Paris was the most prosperous city in Europe, but for Miller, Paris is too expensive. So he left Paris and came to settle down in a small village called Barbizon near Paris, where Miller cultivated the land in the morning to feed himself and his family and in the afternoon to paint at home.
