C'est dangereux, la pêche à l'épervier
EDITORS COMMENTS
(It is dangerous to fish with a sparrowhawk), created by Honore Daumier in 1871, is a captivating and thought-provoking caricature that offers a humorous commentary on the monarchy and the political climate of France during the nineteenth century. This print, also known as a gillotype on newsprint, showcases Daumier's exceptional drawing skills and satirical wit. The image depicts a group of fishermen huddled around a large barrel, seemingly oblivious to the monarchist figure perched atop it. The monarchist, dressed in royal attire, holds a sparrowhawk at the ready, poised to drop it onto the unsuspecting fishermen below. The title of the work serves as a warning to the viewer, highlighting the dangerous and unpredictable nature of the monarchy and its power to disrupt the lives of ordinary people. The use of caricature and parody in this work was a common tactic employed by Daumier and other artists of the time to critique the political and social issues of the day. The monochrome print, with its bold lines and intricate details, is a testament to the enduring power of art as a means of expressing political dissent and challenging the status quo. Today, "C'est dangereux, la pêche à l'épervier" is a cherished piece of heritage art, often displayed in prestigious galleries and museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The print continues to captivate audiences with its timeless commentary on the complexities of power and the importance of speaking truth to power, even in the face of danger.
