EDITORS COMMENTS
Honore Daumier's print, "Legende de l'an 1850" (Legend of the Year 1850), depicts St. Montalembert, a French aristocrat and prominent figure in liberal Catholicism, abandoning his efforts to bring the Parisians back to the path of virtue and returning to heaven, escorted by seraphim. The image captures the moment of St. Montalembert's ascension, with cherubs and angels in attendance. The print, created in the 19th century, is a poignant and humorous commentary on the challenges of moral leadership and the power of divine intervention. Daumier masterfully employs the use of contrasting light and shadow in this lithograph, creating a striking visual effect that adds to the overall impact of the image. The print is a testament to Daumier's skill as a satirical artist and his ability to capture the essence of human experience with wit and insight. This lithograph, with its timeless themes and beautiful composition, is a valuable addition to any art collection and a testament to the enduring power of art to inspire and delight.
