This is a past event
This 20-minute tour focuses on Jean-Francois Millet's famed painting of peasant labor, Man with a Hoe. From shocking Paris at its debut in 1863, to inspiring politically charged poetry that critiqued oppressive labor conditions, the painting from its beginning has suggested a great reckoning to come.
