The farm labour inspired by Millet's paintings

A tribute to the painter Jean-François Millet (1814-1875), who knew so perfectly how to express the hard work of our farmers working in the fields.

Our automatons represent these countrymen in their daily life, with their tools, sweating to earn their living.

The paintings backgrounds are the exact copies of Millet's masterpieces. We have only animated the characters, making the painting alive !
