EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures Honore Daumier's iconic artwork, "Le Ventre Legislatif (The Legislative Belly)" created in 1834. This lithograph, measuring 34.9X52.6 cm, is housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA. The image depicts a group of men seated on benches within a legislative assembly setting. Daumier, known for his satirical caricatures, uses this piece to critique the French establishment during the corrupt 19th century legislative era. Through his sharp wit and artistic skill, he exposes the flaws and absurdities of lawmakers and their governing practices. "Le Ventre Legislatif" serves as a powerful commentary on law and government by highlighting the self-serving nature of those in power. Daumier's engraving showcases how politicians prioritize personal gain over public welfare. This antique masterpiece remains relevant today as it reminds us to question authority and hold our elected officials accountable for their actions. It serves as a reminder that corruption can infiltrate any system if left unchecked. Bridgeman Images presents this print with utmost respect for Daumier's artistry and its historical significance.
