The painter Miller is called rebel painter, free painter and people painter. It can also be said that he is a revolutionary in painting art, and Miller's paintings get rid of the contemporary traditional painting concept, and his brushes depict rural workers, not nobles. Miller's paintings don't work for the church, he only paints the working people in his hometown, because Miller thinks that only the working people are the most beautiful, and only those who are in line with his living environment, the most authentic and simple people, deserve his description and praise, instead of acting as nobles and angels in those churches.

French painter Miller, also known as "peasant painter", is the greatest pastoral painter. Why? Miller was the first French peasant painter. This is because the theme of Miller's paintings is to describe the labor and life of farmers. He observes and appreciates nature with fresh eyes and has a strong flavor of rural life. Miller's paintings are famous in French painting circles for their touching humanity in rural genre paintings.

Miller has a special feeling for nature and country life. He gets up in the dark, works in the fields in the morning and paints in a small room with weak light in the afternoon. Although Miller's life is very difficult, it has not weakened his pursuit of art, because he has no money to buy pigments, and he often makes charcoal sketches himself. Miller loves life, labor and farmers. He once said, "In any case, the theme of farmers is the most suitable for me."
