Et plus un grain de poudre!
EDITORS COMMENTS
, translated to "And one more grain of gunpowder!", is a captivating lithograph by the renowned 19th century French artist Honore Daumier. This evocative image, titled "Quand on a du guignon - Et plus un grain de poudre!", showcases Daumier's exceptional skill in caricature and satire. The print depicts a hunter, dressed in traditional attire, standing in a forest clearing. He is in the act of filling his powder flask, a crucial accessory for any 19th century hunter. The hunter's intense focus is broken by the mischievous grin on his face, suggesting a sense of excitement and anticipation. In the background, a rabbit, oblivious to the impending danger, hops away, adding a touch of humor to the scene. The monochrome palette of the print, in shades of grey, enhances the mood of the image. The use of contrasting textures, from the rough bark of the trees to the smooth, polished surface of the powder keg, adds depth and dimension to the artwork. The intricate lettering on the powder keg and the hunter's clothing further emphasizes the attention to detail that Daumier brought to his work. This lithograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and the 19th century. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures of rural life, the importance of tradition, and the enduring appeal of a good joke. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate the wit and humor of Honore Daumier. In this image, Daumier invites us to join him on a journey into the past, to experience the world of the hunter and the joy of a simple moment in time. "Et plus un grain de poudre!" indeed.
