1846
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Vous voyez ... l'orde le plus parfait règne ... is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see three men in a classroom. One man points at a blackboard full of math. The others watch carefully. The man on the left looks shocked—his mouth wide open. This was a political cartoon. Daumier mocked France’s school system in the 1800s. He used sharp lines to show how teachers acted like bosses. This print shows why Daumier’s work still matters today. Look up *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.
