Millet and his Time:
Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay is a special exhibition of selected 19th
century paintings and photographs from the collection of the Musée d’Orsay,
France. It will be from May 31 to September 5, 2008 and consists of 70
masterpieces, 16 of which are Millet’s, including the well-knownGleaners and
Angelus, to be exhibited all together for the first time in Taiwan. In addition to
Millet, his Barbizon colleagues such as Corot, Rousseau and Dupré, as well as
those who came under his influence such as Breton and Hédouin, are represented
as well. For a better understanding of the rural life of 19th century France, the
exhibition also includes 21 original photographic works of the mid 19th century
as an interesting reference to the rural scenery depicted by Millet and other
Barbizon artists.

I am happy that there is an exhibition about the one of the most famous painting.

I like to go to museum to see artistic creations. It makes me update myself and

gain more knowledge from visiting exhibitions. I had seen Miller’s paintings

before, but they are all copies. I am exciting to see the original one! I will go to

see this exhibition recently~ ^^

I heard that our president had seen this exhibition, and he stood in front of

the painting for a long time. I hope that I can see the painting for a long time,

too. Ha~Ha~ Every time I went to famous exhibition, there are so many people

so that I can't watch the artistic creation carefully. Maybe I will go on Monday

to Friday to avoid the situation that "people mountain people sea". Ha~

If you also like art, you should go visiting it. I think it must be spectacular.
