En Famille - The Bathers - A Family
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by the renowned 19th century French artist, Honore Daumier. This masterpiece, created in the heart of the Victorian era, showcases a humorous and satirical depiction of a family enjoying a day at the baths. Daumier, a prolific caricaturist and graphic artist, expertly employs monochromatic tones, using a lithotint process, to bring this scene to life. The image is filled with intricate details, from the figures' expressive faces to the folds of their bathing costumes. In this work, Daumier parodies the popular series "Les Baigneuses" by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Instead of the elegant and refined figures of the original, Daumier presents a more realistic and humorous interpretation of a family at the baths. The father, with a serious expression, sits at the edge of the pool, while his wife playfully splashes water at their children. The children, with wide-eyed wonder and mischievous grins, engage in a game of tag, their bathing costumes revealing their grey, soapy bodies. This antique print, with its rich history and cultural significance, is a must-have for any art enthusiast or collector. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is just one of the many esteemed institutions that have added this work to their permanent collection, showcasing its enduring appeal and importance in the world of art. Whether you're an admirer of Daumier's unique style or a fan of satirical art, "En Famille: The Bathers - A Family" is sure to bring a touch of whimsy and humor to any art center or gallery. With its intricate details and timeless appeal, this print is a testament to the power of art to evoke emotion and transport us to another era.
