About

Reflect on ‘Millet: Life on the Land’ before the exhibition closes.

This show marks the 150th anniversary of Jean-François Millet’s death, a painter known for his realistic, unsentimental paintings of rural French life. In the final week of this exhibition, art historian Jacqui Ansell looks back at the themes and ideas displayed, sharing her own insights to the works and life of Millet.

Join Jacqui as she guides this reflective session, with an opportunity to hear her thoughts and share your own.
