EDITORS COMMENTS
Ce matin, avant l'aurore, un Dieu vint me reveiller... (This morning, before dawn, a God came to wake me...) is an evocative lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1839. This work of art is part of the series "Moeurs Conjugales" (Household Manners), and it showcases a humorous and heartwarming scene of family life. In the image, a father lies peacefully in bed, still asleep as dawn breaks. A God, depicted as a benevolent figure, hovers above him, gently shaking him awake with a tender expression. The father's wife, standing beside the bed, looks on with a knowing smile. She holds a garland of flowers, a flattering birthday gift for her husband, whose birthday it is. The scene is set in a cozy bedroom, filled with period furniture and adorned with a bedside table and candlestick. The room is bathed in the soft glow of a candle, casting a warm and inviting light on the scene. The use of black and white contrasts effectively to highlight the details of the scene, from the father's rumpled bedsheets to the delicate petals of the flowers. This charming lithograph is a testament to the beauty and complexity of family life, and the simple joys of celebrating a loved one's birthday. The work of Honore Daumier continues to captivate audiences with its wit, humor, and insight into human nature. This print is a treasured piece of heritage art, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and a reminder of the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and transport us to another time and place.
