EDITORS COMMENTS
Honore Daumier's 19th century lithograph, "Pelerinage de St Roch," is a humorous take on the traditional pilgrimage scene of Saint Roch, the patron saint of travelers and the sick. In this print, Daumier parodies the popular painting by Petral Vilarnoumz, depicting a wall with the saint's iconic water gourd and a disappearing dog behind. The use of black and white contrast creates a striking visual effect, adding to the satirical tone of the piece. Saint Roch, a French saint known for his miraculous healing powers, is often depicted in art with a dog by his side, symbolizing his companionship and protection during his own pilgrimage. Daumier's interpretation, however, playfully subverts this tradition by having the dog disappear behind the wall, leaving only its paw prints and the gourd behind. The man in the scene, with a quizzical expression, seems to be noticing the strange occurrence. This lithograph is a testament to Daumier's mastery of the medium, as well as his ability to infuse humor into religious themes. The print is a valuable addition to any art collection, showcasing the artist's unique perspective and artistic vision. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is one of many prestigious institutions that hold this piece in their permanent collections, making it a must-see for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
