Prochaine ordonnance du préfet de police
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Next Order of the Prefect of Police) is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in the 19th century. This monochromatic masterpiece, with its striking contrasts of grey and white, showcases a humorous and satirical take on the daily life of the French police force. At the center of the image, a stern-faced police chief sits atop his horse, surrounded by a chaotic scene of children and animals. The chief, dressed in his formal uniform, holds a stack of papers, presumably the "next order," which seems to be causing quite the commotion below. The animals, including horses, dogs, and even a donkey, appear to be in various states of disobedience, adding to the chaotic scene. The title of the work, "Prochaine ordonnance du préfet de police," adds to the satire, suggesting that even the police chief is not immune to the disorder and confusion of everyday life. The use of lettering in the title, reminiscent of official government documents, further emphasizes the parody of authority and order. This lithograph, with its intricate detail and witty commentary on the human condition, is a testament to Daumier's artistic genius and his ability to capture the essence of 19th century French life. It is a must-see for any art lover, historian, or anyone interested in the cultural heritage of France. This work is part of the rich collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and has been exhibited in various galleries and art centers around the world. It is a reminder of the enduring power of art to entertain, provoke thought, and transport us to another time and place.
