1871
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
A Paris nous ne pouvions... aller a Versailles... is a 1871 by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a simple scene of people not being able to go to Versailles. It's a pretty straightforward image. The interesting thing about this work is that it was made using a Gillotype, a process that allowed for mass production of images on newsprint. This made art more accessible to the general public. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré.
Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
