From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Une Révolte a bord is a 1843 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this lithograph, a chaotic scene unfolds on a boat, with three men in the foreground. One man is being restrained by another, while a third man stands behind them, holding a long pole. The boat's name, "Le Bar Billon," is visible on its side. The scene is set against a backdrop of water, with a few birds flying in the distance. The overall atmosphere is one of tension and conflict. This work is characteristic of the Romanticism movement, which emphasized emotion and drama. To learn more about this style, explore the Romanticism movement.
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.
