Le déjeuner du patron; le sixième clerc prenant sa pitance,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "The Boss's Lunch: The Sixth Clerk Taking His Feed," is a poignant and satirical lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in the 19th century. This image, now held in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., offers a humorous yet insightful commentary on social class and the daily struggles of the working class during this period. The scene portrays a boss, dressed in formal attire and seated at a grand desk adorned with furniture that exudes an air of wealth and importance. He is engrossed in a meal, oblivious to the sixth clerk, who stands meekly behind him, reaching out to take his meager rations from a communal pot. The stark contrast between the opulence of the boss's lunch and the poverty-stricken meal of the clerk is a powerful commentary on the social divide between the rich and the poor during this era. Daumier's masterful use of caricature and satire adds an extra layer of depth to this image. The exaggerated features of the boss, with his smug expression and plump figure, serve to highlight the absurdity of his position and the injustice of the class divide. The clerk, on the other hand, is depicted with a sense of resignation and acceptance, underscoring the harsh reality of his daily struggle to survive. This lithograph is a testament to Daumier's keen observational skills and his ability to capture the essence of the human condition. It remains a powerful reminder of the social and economic challenges faced by the working class during the 19th century and continues to resonate with audiences today. Whether viewed for its historical significance or its artistic merit, "Le déjeuner du patron; le sixième clerc prenant sa pitance" is a must-see for anyone interested in the rich heritage of art and the social commentary it can provide.
