Vous voyez... je viens de faire... mon marché
EDITORS COMMENTS
(You see... I have just made... my market) is a captivating lithograph by the renowned 19th century French artist, Honore Daumier. This masterpiece, titled "Les Hippophages" (The Horse-Feeders), is a testament to Daumier's exceptional skill in caricature and satire. The monochrome image, created in the mid-19th century, depicts two men on horseback, engaged in a humorous encounter at a marketplace. The rider on the left, with a smug expression, points to a large sack slung over his horse's back, while the other man, with a quizzical look, gestures to the contents of the sack. The scene is filled with intricate details, from the textured fabrics of their clothing to the grotesque figures in the background, all rendered with Daumier's distinctive style and wit. The use of grey tones adds depth and contrast to the image, enhancing the sense of movement and energy. The lettering at the bottom of the print, written in French, adds a playful touch to the composition, further emphasizing the satirical nature of the work. This lithograph is a significant addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of France during the 19th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this work in its permanent collection, allowing visitors to appreciate the genius of Honore Daumier and the enduring power of satire in art. Whether viewed as a commentary on human nature, a parody of everyday life, or simply as a work of artistic brilliance, "Vous voyez... je viens de faire... mon marché" continues to captivate and delight audiences, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the human condition.
