Pour une belle vue, v'là une belle vue!
EDITORS COMMENTS
("For a beautiful view, look at that beautiful view!") is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1847. This masterpiece, titled "Pour une belle vue, v'la une belle vue!.." and numbered as no. 32 in the series "Les Bons bourgeois," was first published in the French satirical magazine "Le Charivari" on January 16, 1847. The image portrays a man, dressed in the fashion of the 19th century, intently peering through a telescope, his eyes wide with excitement as he takes in the breathtaking view of Paris spread out before him. The city's iconic hills and geographical features can be seen in the distance, while his own house, wife, and her cousin are recognizable in the foreground. The man's expression turns from delight to dismay as he realizes he has seen too much, his face contorted in a regretful and embarrassed expression. Daumier's use of color and hand-tinting adds depth and vibrancy to the print, bringing the scene to life. The man's top hat and the intricate details of his clothing are evident, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of the era. The print's satirical tone, reminiscent of the humorous and parodic style of "Le Charivari," adds an element of amusement to the image, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. Today, "Pour une belle vue, v'la une belle vue!" is a cherished piece of heritage art, held in high regard by museums and art enthusiasts alike. It can be found in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its intriguing story and stunning visual appeal.
