1866
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Les chasses ... ne se ressemblent pas is a 1866 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men face to face in a quiet field. One wears a fancy hunting jacket. The other looks like a jester in puffy sleeves and a jingle bell hat. The hunter holds a rifle. The jester holds a wooden sword. Daumier was laughing at how silly these two men look. The hunter acts serious. The jester acts like he’s in a play. Their clothes shout from different centuries. Look up lithography next.
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.
