Greek Orthodox Church proclaimed to protect its followers, it was full of corruption and their favor was easily swayed by Mohammad II due to their hatred of the Catholics. Under Ottoman rule, the Greek Orthodox Church acquired power as an autonomous millet.

According to Michel Foucault, power is knowledge and knowledge is power. He also believed that as individuals, everyone will react to situations in different ways.

I did my artist on Jean-François Millet. Millet was born in a farming community called the village of Gruchy, in Gréville-Hague, Normandy. Jean lived a long life; his birthday was October 4, 1814 and died January 20, 1875 (age 60). At the time when Jean was alive, his work was considered a political advertisement.

well known for their realistic portrayal of the hardships and conflicts of their environment. Two artists known as “Realists” are Gustave Courbet (1819- 1877) and Jean-Francois Millet (1814-1875).
