"The Sower" is an iconic oil painting by French artist Jean-François Millet, completed in 1850. It is one of Millet's most famous works and a seminal piece in the Barbizon school of painting, which focused on rural and agricultural scenes. The painting depicts a peasant sower sowing seeds in a field, a subject that reflects Millet's interest in the lives and labors of the working class, particularly in the countryside.

Measuring 101.6 cm × 83.8 cm, "The Sower" is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, with the sower's figure silhouetted against the setting sun. The composition is notable for its sense of movement and the rhythmic quality of the sower's stride, which conveys the tireless, repetitive nature of agricultural work. Millet's portrayal of the sower is imbued with dignity and a heroic scale, elevating the peasant's labor to a subject worthy of artistic representation.

The painting is often interpreted as a social commentary on the dignity of labor and the connection between man and nature. It also reflects the broader Realist movement of the 19th century, which sought to depict everyday life and ordinary people with honesty and accuracy, without idealization.

"The Sower" has had a significant impact on the history of art, influencing a range of artists from Vincent van Gogh, who created several works inspired by Millet's sower, to Salvador Dalí, who referenced the iconic figure in his own surreal interpretations. The painting is held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and continues to be studied and admired for its powerful imagery and its role in the development of modern art.
