Miller is a famous French writer in the19th century. Born in a peasant family, he studied painting with others when he was young. He left his teacher because he was dissatisfied with his flashy artistic style. Later, he made a living by painting nude pictures in Paris. Gradually, he got tired of this art, but paintings with other themes could not be sold. Therefore, he once fell into the abyss of poverty, distress and despair.
Forced by life, he had to leave Paris to live in the country. In the countryside, he still failed to get rid of poverty, but the beautiful nature, simple farmers and farm life aroused the painter's creative passion. He endured all difficulties and persisted in his creation, resulting in many famous works, such as The Sower.
