1856
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Saint Mitophan et le dieu mars ... is a 1856 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This odd print shows two guys floating on clouds. One wears a plain robe. The other has a fancy helmet with feathers. Daumier drew it in black and white. Lithography lets artists draw on stone with greasy crayons. Then ink sticks only where the crayon touched. This one looks soft and dreamy, not sharp like a photo.

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.
