Jean-Francois Millet, Peasant and Painter

Alfred Sensier

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The day of Sensier's funeral, it was decided among his family and friends that his manuscript, arranged and completed, should take the form of a volume. The manuscript was given to us in a not very good condition. Sensier told Millet's life up to 1864, but for the following ten years had only put together documents and notes, with here and there, and only for a few episodes, a little editorial work; and even in the advanced parts were many imperfect pages, which the writer, interrupted by illness, had left for quieter days - days which never came. We have performed our work without changing the thought of the chief editor, but allowing ourselves to correct some historical mistakes. We have used all the author's notes, and we can offer com plete, if not perfect, the manuscript which Sensier cared more for than for anything he had written, because it commemorated his dearest friend.
