1848
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Vois comme ils avaient abimè ... is a 1848 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two people standing in a cobblestone street, looking at damaged buildings. They're turned away from us, so we can't see their faces. The man is wearing a top hat and gesturing, while the woman stands beside him. Their clothes and the street give us a sense of the time and place. The scene suggests that the artist is commenting on the state of the city. To learn more about the method used to create this image, look up the technique: 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.
