1846
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Au nom du ciel, Théodore ne regarde pas ... is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows two figures in a rocky landscape. The man is dressed up and leaning forward. The woman is holding onto his coat, and they seem to be struggling. They're on a journey together, and it's not easy. This scene tells us about the hard parts of traveling with someone. It's not just about the landscape, but about the people too. To learn more about how this was made, look into the technique: lithography.
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.
