1836
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Dieu de Dieu! mais c'est un pppolisson... is a 1836 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a scene of a man and woman in an intimate setting, with the man leaning over the woman's shoulder. The woman is dressed in a floral skirt and a red shawl, while the man wears a black jacket and white pants. A third figure stands in the background, observing the scene. The atmosphere is tense, with the man's arm outstretched and the woman's face contorted in a mixture of fear and surprise. In the foreground, the man's hand is raised, as if he is about to strike the woman. The woman's eyes are wide with fear, and her mouth is open in a silent scream. The background figure watches with a mixture of curiosity and concern. This scene is reminiscent of the work of Daumier, Honoré, a prominent artist of the Romanticism movement.
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.
