Millet's Techniques: Evoking Emotion Through Light and Composition
In "The Church at Greville," Millet employs soft, natural light to illuminate the scene, creating an atmosphere of tranquility.

"The Church at Greville" is a quintessential example of the Barbizon School, a group of French painters known for their realistic depictions of rural life. Millet, a prominent member of the school, sought to capture the dignity and struggles of the peasantry, and "The Church at Greville" reflects his deep empathy for their way of life.
Feelings Conveyed: Serenity, Humility, and the Enduring Power of Faith
