Jean Francois Millet

The Kindle version of Jean Francois Millet had no visuals to go along with said described written accounts of each painting within the life of Millet. Sad- but then perhaps it was too much to ask at the time when this was all developed and made into a Kindle product. I did find much history dedicated to some of his famous paintings...and did look at his paintings via the internet while reading information held in this book. I can only see 1 star here- great few lines of history for each painting or visual- but its hard to keep my concentration with this book with no visuals....What gives?

The illustrations for this book are all out of focus or very fuzzy. They look like copies of copies. I would suggest looking for another book if looking for good photos of painting by Jean Francois Millet.

I have found it difficult to find a book on Millet (he must be out of fashion) so I was hoping that this one would be a good one. I was disappointed - I should have read the reviews before ordering! - the illustrations are very poor and black and white does NOT do anything to represent the artist's beautiful work. So disappointed that I set the book aside without reading it, this means that I cannot comment on the actual text! Art books should be like children's books, full of colourful images!!

Very disappointed. The pictures look like they've been photocopied from a cheap newspaper and they are all in black and white which seems ridiculous for a book on an artist's work.
