Biography

François Charles Millet was born in Paris in 1851 and died in Barbizon (Seine-et-Marne) in 1917.

The son of Catherine Lemaire and painter Jean-François Millet, he embraced the same artistic vocation as his father, under whose tutelage he studied.

He made his debut at the Salon of 1870. A painter of genre scenes and still lifes, portraitist, draftsman, and sculptor, he notably made a copy of his father’s painting L’église de Gréville (The Church at Gréville), painted La Maison de Jean-François Millet (The House of Jean-François Millet, 1910), and created pastel landscapes.
