A monumentalizing portrayal of a peasant bowed over by brutal toil, "Man with a Hoe" (ca. 1860-62) by Jean-Fran�ois Millet (1814-1875) is arguably the most art historically significant painting in the J. Paul Getty Museum's collection of nineteenth-century European art. This volume situates the painting in the arc of Millet's career and traces its fascinating and contentious reception, from its scandalous debut at the 1863 Paris Salon to the years following its acquisition by American collectors in the 1890s. The essays examine the painting's tumultuous public life, beginning in France, where critics attacked it on aesthetic and political grounds as a radical realist provocation; through its transformative movement in the art market during the remaining years of the artist's life and following his death; to its highly publicized arrival in California as a celebrated masterpiece. In the United States it was enlisted to serve philanthropic interests, became the subject of a popular poem, and once again became embroiled in controversy, in this case one that was strongly inflected by American racial politics. This is the first publication dedicated to the work since its acquisition by the Getty Museum in 1985
