Quincy Adams Shaw collection : Italian Renaissance sculpturee : paintings and pastels by Jean François Millet : exhibition opening April 18, 1918
An exhibition catalogue issued by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in 1918 for the Quincy Adams Shaw bequest, covering Italian Renaissance sculpture and the paintings and pastels of Jean-François Millet, made for museum visitors and collectors. The halftone plates reproduce Millet's peasant subjects—sowers, shepherds with flocks, thatched farm buildings, figures resting—in soft grey tonal masses with dark silhouettes against open sky, useful for grainy textured backgrounds, worker silhouettes, and low-horizon rural scenes.
