1845
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ce qu'on appelle, aller jouir a la campagne ... is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Honoré Daumier shows two men hunched under a single umbrella in pouring rain. The smaller man looks tired. The bigger one strides ahead, ignoring him. It’s a lithograph from 1845, cheap and fast to print. Daumier used this method to mock everyday life and power imbalances. See how his sharp lines make the scene feel real. Want to try it yourself? Look up 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.
