Jean-François Millet's 'Oedipus Taken Down from the Tree' depicts the rescue of the infant Oedipus from Mount Cithaeron. This oil painting showcases Millet's realistic style and his ability to convey emotion through subtle details and a muted colour palette.
Jean-François Millet (1814-1875) was a French painter and one of the founders of the Realism movement. He is noted for his scenes of peasant farmers; however, this painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology. Millet aimed to portray the dignity of rural life and the natural world. His work often focused on the daily activities of peasants and their connection to the land. Millet's paintings are characterised by their realistic depiction of figures and their surroundings, as well as their use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. 'Oedipus Taken Down from the Tree' depicts the infant Oedipus being rescued after he was left to die on Mount Cithaeron. The painting shows a group of figures tending to the child, with a dark forest in the background. The colour palette is muted, with browns, greens, and blues dominating the composition. The figures are rendered with a soft, painterly touch, and the overall effect is one of quiet drama.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

painting peasants with a dignity that unnerved the bourgeoisie, producing The Angelus and The Gleaners, and being obsessively copied by Van Gogh
