Se passant la fantasie de faire naufrager la flotte Anglo-Francaise...,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Indulging in the Fantasy of Wrecking the Anglo-French Fleet," is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in the 19th century. This intriguing work of art showcases a man in a German or Prussian helmet, engrossed in a game of shipwrecking with toy boats on a basin of water. The man's intense focus is evident as he blows at the boats, creating ripples on the water's surface. The setting of the print features a map of the Black Sea and the Crimea on the wall, adding context to the scene. This geographical reference likely relates to the Crimean War (1853-1856), during which France and other European powers allied against Russia. The inclusion of the map and the man's German helmet suggests a playful commentary on the naval warfare between these nations. Daumier's masterful use of black and white, or bw, lithography creates a striking contrast between the man's determined expression and the seemingly innocent toy boats. The title of the work, "Se passant la fantasie," translates to "passing the time" or "indulging in a fantasy," highlighting the leisurely pastime of the man in the image. This satirical work, with its parody of military conflict and use of toy boats, offers a humorous perspective on the larger geopolitical events of the time. Today, it remains a valuable addition to the collections of art centers and galleries, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The enduring appeal of Honore Daumier's "Se passant la fantasie de faire naufrager la flotte Anglo-Francaise..." lies in its ability to capture the human experience, even in the midst of war and conflict.
