Cinq coeurs, quinte et quatorze...,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating lithograph by the renowned 19th-century French artist Honore Daumier, showcases a humorous and satirical depiction of a card game among men. The monochrome image, with its striking contrast of white and grey tones, transports us back in time to an era of leisurely pastimes and cultural heritage. Daumier, a master of caricature and parody, expertly captures the essence of the game and the personalities of the figures involved. The scene is set in a dimly lit room, with the men intently focused on their cards, their faces etched with concentration and determination. The lettering on the table, "cinq coeurs, quinte et quatorze," indicates that they are playing a variation of the popular French card game, "cinq fois rechute," or "five times down." The artist's use of exaggerated features and expressive body language adds a layer of humor to the otherwise mundane activity. One man's raised eyebrow and smirk suggests a victory, while another's furrowed brow and clenched fist reveals his frustration. The intricate details in the men's clothing and the worn, textured table add authenticity to the depiction, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. This lithograph, a testament to Daumier's artistic skill and cultural insight, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly in the realm of satire and caricature. It is currently on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors with its timeless appeal.
