Danger de se trouver au milieu d'une course au clocher is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a chaotic scene with pigs causing trouble in a rustic setting. The pigs are running wildly, and the scene is full of energy. This artwork is interesting because it shows the artist's ability to create movement and texture using simple lines and shading. To learn more about the method used to create this scene, look up 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.
