EDITORS COMMENTS
Baron de Lascours, 1835: A Satirical Portrayal by Honore Daumier This black and white lithograph, titled "Baron de Lascours, 1835," is a masterpiece by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. The subject of the image is Baron Louis Joseph Elisabeth Fortune Reynaud de Bologne, a French politician and general. The print is part of Daumier's series "Juges des accuses d'Avril" (The Judges of April), which satirically depicted the French aristocracy and political figures of the time. The Baron is depicted wearing the full regalia of his military uniform, adorned with medals and decorations, including the Legion of Honor. His stern expression and the exaggerated features of his face, such as the prominent nose and bushy eyebrows, add a touch of humor to the image. The artist's use of contrasting lines and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, making the image come alive. The background of the print is simple, with a plain, monochromatic backdrop that allows the focus to remain on the subject. The overall effect is one of satire and commentary on the aristocracy and the military elite of the time. This lithograph is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th-century art, particularly those focusing on French history, politics, and satire. It is a testament to Daumier's skill as a caricaturist and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with wit and humor. Currently, this print can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and entertain visitors from around the world.
