    The Painters Studio

    This painting portrays the artist in the center with the awful side of his life on the left side of
    him and the good side of his life on the right side of him. The left side represents challenge
    and opposition (figures like beggars and prostitutes) while the right represents friends and
    admirers.

    The painting exhibits a heightened reality that makes it almost dreamlike, with figures that are
    both real and symbolic.

    17. This painting is considered great because it is so original and unique in its blending of the
    allegorical and the actual so that the difference is almost impossible to distinguish.

    Burial At Ornans
    This painting is an early example of Realism, before it became too well known or well-liked among
    the public, so it was met with some fierce denunciations from the critics and the public. It is the
    depiction of the funeral of his grand uncle, in a style that was usually reserved for religious or royal
    scenes. The actual townspeople who attended the funeral were used as models.
    The people in the crowd are not depicted in a lavish or idealistic way, but as they are and as they
    truly looked in real life, ugliness and all. The figures are not doing dramatic grieving gestures, but are
    posed rather realistically, which was very seldom done at the time in works of art.
    This work is great because it was one of the first Realist paintings, and extremely innovative for the
    time in its subject matter and the way the scene is presented. It stripped away all traditional or,
    popular conventions for the fine art of that era, and ushered in a new movement. Because of this
    the painting has been referred to as, The Burial of Romanticism.

    The Gleaners (Des glaneuses) is an oil painting by Jean-Franois Millet completed in 1857. It
    depicts three peasant women gleaning a field of stray grains of wheat after the harvest. The painting
    is famous for featuring in a sympathetic way what were then the lowest ranks of rural society; this
    was received poorly by the French upper classes.
