EDITORS COMMENTS
Trop de politesse" (Too Much Politeness), created by the renowned 19th century French artist Honore Daumier, is a captivating lithograph that masterfully captures the essence of hunting culture during this period. The image, reminiscent of a historic moment frozen in time, depicts a group of hunters in the countryside, each doffing their hats in a polite gesture towards their fellow hunters and their dogs. The hunters, dressed in traditional attire, are shown with guns slung over their shoulders and a sense of camaraderie in their eyes as they exchange greetings. The hunting dogs, alert and focused, complete the scene with their keen expressions and readiness to assist their masters. Daumier's use of humour and parody is evident in the subtle details of the illustration, such as the exaggerated doffing of hats and the slight smirk on one of the hunter's faces. The artist's skillful depiction of the figures and their surroundings, as well as the intricate lettering and shading, add to the overall charm and appeal of this lithograph. Originally created as part of Daumier's "Hunting Sketches" series, this work is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the nuances of human behavior and the cultural traditions of his time. Today, it is a cherished piece of heritage art, showcased in prestigious galleries and museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Whether appreciated for its historical significance, its artistic merit, or its simple yet enduring humor, "Trop de politesse" remains a captivating and beloved work of art that continues to inspire and delight viewers.
