EDITORS COMMENTS
Honore Daumier's lithograph "Les Tritons de la Seine" (The Tritons of the Seine), created in 1864, captures the playful and carefree spirit of Parisians enjoying a summer day by the river. Part of the "Paris dans l'eau" (Paris in the Water) series, this image was published in the Petit Journal on July 9, 1864. The scene depicts a group of men in various stages of boating and swimming in the Seine River. One man is shown rowing a rowboat, while another is diving into the water from a small bridge. Others are seen splashing each other with water or smoking pipes on the riverbank. Daumier's use of satire and parody is evident in the exaggerated features and expressions of the figures, adding a humorous element to the scene. The black and white lithograph, with its intricate lines and shading, showcases the artist's mastery of the medium. This print is a testament to the pastime and recreational activities that were popular in Paris during the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the daily life and culture of the time. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this important work in its collection, which is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive holdings of European art. The image is a reminder of the enduring appeal of the Seine River and the joy that Parisians have found in its waters for generations.
