De ce côté-là, vous voyez la tour St. Jacques...
EDITORS COMMENTS
(And from here you can see the tower of St. Jacques the Butcher!), is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1847. This striking black and white image, part of the series "Locataires et proprietaires" (Landlords and Tenants), offers a humorous commentary on the housing market and the lengths landlords would go to entice potential tenants. The print depicts a scene inside a cramped, dimly lit room. A man, likely an estate agent, stands near a skylight, gesturing towards the view outside. He proudly declares, "De ce côté-là, vous voyez la tour St. Jacques..." (And from here you can see the tower of St. Jacques the Butcher!). The view from the skylight reveals a narrow, cluttered rooftop scene, with the distinctive silhouette of the St. Jacques tower peeking out in the distance. Two women, one older and one younger, are seated on the floor, their expressions revealing their skepticism and disappointment. The older woman points towards the man, making a disapproving hand gesture, while the younger woman looks on with a mix of amusement and exasperation. The overall tone of the print is satirical, poking fun at the common practice of landlords exaggerating the desirability of their properties to attract tenants. This lithograph, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to Daumier's keen observational skills and his ability to capture the nuances of everyday life in 19th century France. The print's enduring appeal lies in its timeless commentary on the housing market and the human condition.
