1862
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le Nouveau Paris is a 1862 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a lively street scene in Paris. People are gathered on the sidewalk, looking at something happening on the street. The scene is full of movement and energy. In the foreground, a group of men in top hats and coats are standing together, watching the commotion. One of them is holding a cane. The men are dressed in formal attire, which contrasts with the chaotic scene unfolding before them. The artist, Daumier, Honoré, is known for his realistic and detailed depictions of everyday life. This painting is a great example of his work.
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.
