1851
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Projet de statutes pour orner ... la Bourse is a 1851 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a grand building with huge statues and tall columns. A helmeted figure stands guard while a soldier marches past. Daumier uses sharp lines to show light and shadow. It was made to decorate a stock exchange, but the plan never happened. The figures feel alive, almost like they might step off the page. Check out more by Daumier, Honoré.
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.
