1862
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Street Singers is a 1862 by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows two street performers in the foreground, with a city street and buildings in the background. The two figures are dressed in casual, worn clothing and are engaged in singing or performing. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the scene, with the light source coming from the left side of the painting. The painting's focus on everyday life and its use of chiaroscuro make it a great example of Realism. Next, you might want to look up the artist Honoré Daumier.
