1849
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Rifolard ... oublie ... les inconvénients de la traversée is a 1849 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a man in military-style attire standing confidently amongst a crowd. He looks strong and sure of himself. The man's pose and the crowd around him make this work interesting because it reflects the social dynamics of the time, with people from different backgrounds interacting. The crowd is diverse, with people looking in different directions. This suggests that the artist was trying to show the complexity of urban life. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of 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.
