EDITORS COMMENTS
Rodrigue as-tu du coeur? (Le Cid), 1841" is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This thought-provoking image is taken from Daumier's series "Physionomies tragico-classiques" (Physiognomy of the Characters of Classical Tragedy), which showcases the artist's unique ability to capture the essence of human emotion and character through his art. At the heart of this image is the elderly man, Don Diego, depicted with a serious and concerned expression as he gazes intently at his son Rodrigo. With one hand gesturing towards his chest, he asks the question that every father has pondered throughout the ages: "do you have heart?" The son, Rodrigo, portrayed as El Cid or Rodrigue Diaz de Vivar, the legendary Spanish hero, stands before his father with a humorous and enigmatic expression. His body language and facial expression suggest a nonchalant attitude, as if he is unaware or indifferent to his father's query. Daumier's masterful use of contrast and shading in this black and white lithograph adds depth and dimension to the characters, bringing them to life in a way that transcends the two-dimensional medium. The image is a testament to the artist's keen observation of human nature and his ability to capture the complexities of family dynamics and fatherhood. This satirical and parodic take on the classic tale of El Cid adds a fresh perspective to the legend, inviting viewers to reflect on the timeless question of what it means to have a heart and the role of family in shaping our identities. This work of art is now part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world. Honore Daumier's "Rodrigue as-tu du coeur? (Le Cid), 1841" is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the human condition, or the enduring legacy of El Cid.
