From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Triste sort des professeurs ... is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a chaotic classroom with students and a teacher surrounded by flying beetles. The scene is chaotic, with everyone reacting to the sudden invasion. This lithograph is interesting because it shows a common setting, like a school, but with a weird twist. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré to see more of his satire and social commentary.
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.
