Réponse de l'auteur .
Francisque Millet n'est pas considéré dans ce livre comme un "suiveur" des peintres figurant dans le premier chapitre.Par contre, ces derniers sont mentionnés pour qu'un large public ait un aperu sur tout le paysage en France au 17ème siècle, comme il est indiqué dans l'introduction.

Francisque Millet, le paysage au XVIIe siècle Reviews
A finely illustrated study .
Bernard Biard's comparatively slight study of the landscape painter Francisque Millet will be welcomed for it colour plates and for giving Millet the further chance of emerging from the shadows of his great predecessors, Poussin, Claude and Dughet. Though in some ways very little has been added to our knowledge of Millet since Martin Davies' pioneering study in 1948 (which suggested that the 28 engravings after his landscapes by the otherwise unknown Theodore must form the basis of research), and in some ways it is a pity that the publisher's format did not permit a catalogue raisonné (though Biard's 2003 Dossier de L'Art included a summary one) and Biard's scholarly text specifically deals with Millet on 53 pages out of 160, the great value of this volume is a further discussion in the final 60 pages of the book at the serious sifting and sorting of his followers, Millet family painters, and the painter's influence on artists in Italy, France and the Netherlands. Millet only lived until he was 37, and worked in the lifetimes of almost all his great French artist contemporaries, so I have some reservations about the first section of the book which deals with these painters as if they all came before Millet, and this section could have been tightened to form a more general placing of Millet in the context of 17th century French landscape painting rather than considering him, as it somewhat seems here, as a follower who had predecessors. This does Millet no great favours, and undermines the evident pleasure the book will give scholars and amateurs who admire an artist who gains in importance as scholarship marches forward.
