Une Diligence Prise d'Assaut
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Assault on a Railway Carriage), created by Honore Daumier in 1843, is a captivating lithograph from the series "Les Chemins de fer" (The Railways). This masterpiece, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases the artist's keen observation of human behavior and satirical wit. In the image, a chaotic scene unfolds as a man, dressed in a top hat and a formal coat, is sandwiched between a woman and two children in a crowded railway carriage. The man's exasperated expression is palpable as he exclaims, "Sapristi! quelle idee ai'je eu de venir me fourrer dans cette bagarre avec une femme et deux moutards! ah! les jours des grandes eaux de Versailles...les seuls peres de famille veritablement heureux sont ceux qui n'ont pas d'enfants!" (Good heavens! Why on earth did I choose to come and get into this melee with a woman and two brats! ah! the days of the great waters of Versailles...the only truly happy fathers are those who have no children!). The black and white composition, with its intricate details, highlights the overcrowded nature of the railway station and the discomfort of the passengers. The man's frustration is further emphasized by the contrast between his elegant attire and the disorderly surroundings. This humorous and satirical piece offers a glimpse into the daily struggles and annoyances of public transport during the 19th century. Honore Daumier, a renowned French artist, was known for his cartoons and lithographs that critiqued society and its foibles. "Une Diligence Prise d'Assaut" is a testament to his ability to capture the essence of human nature and the absurdities of everyday life. This fascinating piece continues to resonate with audiences today, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the universality of the human experience.
