Impressions de voyage d'un grand poète, 1842. Creator: Honore Daumier
Impressions de voyage d'un grand poete, 1842. Travel impressions of a great poet. "Une des curiosites de Francfort qui disparaitra bientot j'en ai peur, c'est la boucherie, il est impossible de voir un plus splendide amas de chair fraiche. Les bouchers sanglants et les boucheres rose causent avect grace sous des guirlandes de gigots. Un ruisseau rouge dont deux fontaines jaillissantes modifient a peine la couleur, coule, et fume au milieu de la rue!" (Le Rhin par Victor Hugo). "One of the curiosities of Frankfurt which will soon disappear, I fear, is the butcher's shop; it is impossible to see a more splendid pile of fresh flesh. The bloody butchers and the pink butcheresses chat gracefully under garlands of legs of lamb. A red stream, of which two gushing fountains barely changing colour, flows and steams in the middle of the street!" ('The Rhine by Victor Hugo). Hugo published a travel guide in 1842 which included stories about the Rhine river).

Impressions de voyage d'un grand poète,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Travel Impressions of a Great Poet," is a captivating print by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1842. This masterpiece is a visual interpretation of Victor Hugo's travelogue, "The Rhine," published in the same year. Daumier's print beautifully captures the essence of Hugo's words, focusing on the vibrant butcher's shop in Frankfurt, which the poet described as a "curiosity that will soon disappear." The artist skillfully portrays the scene with intricate detail, depicting the butchers and butcheresses in their bloody aprons, gracefully displaying the fresh meat under garlands of legs of lamb. The red stream flowing through the middle of the street, with two gushing fountains barely altering its color, further emphasizes the lively atmosphere of the market. Hugo's poetic description of the butcher's shop, with its splendid pile of fresh flesh and the red, steaming river, inspired Daumier to create this visually striking work of art. The print not only showcases the artist's exceptional draftsmanship but also highlights the rich literary heritage of the time, as Hugo's words continue to captivate and inspire artists and audiences alike. This print is a testament to the power of literature and art to transport us to different places and times, allowing us to experience the world through the eyes of a great poet and an accomplished artist. It is a valuable addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring connection between words and images.
