Ils voudraient éteindre jusqu'au soleil
EDITORS COMMENTS
(They would like to extinguish even the sun), is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in the 19th century. This masterpiece, a testament to Daumier's exceptional artistic talent and satirical wit, is a monochrome depiction of a group of men carrying a large candlestick or candle snuffer on their shoulders, with determined expressions on their faces. The title of the work suggests a humorous and perhaps even futile attempt to extinguish the sun. The image, a striking example of the artist's caricature and parody style, is a commentary on the human condition and the desire to control the natural world. The use of black and white, or greyscale, adds to the somber and serious tone of the work, while the contrast between the men's laborious effort and the seemingly unreachable sun creates a sense of irony and absurdity. This lithograph is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focused on 19th century art, French art, or satire. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe and the enduring appeal of Daumier's work. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and other prestigious art institutions have recognized the significance of this work and have included it in their exhibitions. Daumier's "Ils voudraient éteindre jusqu'au soleil" is a thought-provoking and visually engaging work that invites viewers to ponder the human desire for control and the limits of our power in the face of nature. It is a must-see for anyone interested in art history, astronomy, or the human condition.
