EDITORS COMMENTS
Honore Daumier's lithograph "A Naples - Le meilleur des rois continuant à faire régner l'ordre dans ses états" (In Naples - The best king continues to maintain order in his states), created in 1851, offers a satirical commentary on the reign of Ferdinand II of the Two Sicilies in Naples, Italy. The image depicts a chaotic scene below a balcony, where a woman is being chased by a soldier with a bayonet, while dead bodies hang from gibbets in the background. The architectural feature of the balcony, with its intricate detailing and ornate balustrades, stands in stark contrast to the violence and death unfolding below. Daumier, a French artist known for his political and social commentary through his cartoons and lithographs, uses humor and irony to critique the hypocrisy of the monarchy. The "best king" is depicted as an overweight, complacent figure, oblivious to the suffering of his people. The title of the work is a playful reference to the idea that a monarch's rule is considered "the best" as long as order is maintained, even if that order is built on the foundation of oppression and violence. This black and white lithograph is a poignant reminder of the complexities of power and the human cost of maintaining the status quo. It is a valuable addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the heritage and history of European art, specifically from the 19th century. The image invites viewers to reflect on the role of power and authority in society, and the consequences of unchecked despotism.
