This powerful satire, created during a tumultuous period of political upheaval in France, is now available as a high-quality canvas print, allowing you to delve into its thought-provoking message.

Daumier's Techniques: Exposing Hypocrisy Through Exaggeration and Symbolism

In "Lherbette," Daumier employs masterful exaggeration and symbolism to expose the absurdity and hypocrisy of the era's political elite. The central figure, Representative Lherbette, is depicted as a bloated, grotesque individual, his features distorted to emphasize his gluttony and self-importance. The background, a chaotic scene of political turmoil, further highlights the absurdity of Lherbette's puffed-up persona.

Beyond the Image: Historical Context and Political Commentary

Daumier's caricature was created in the aftermath of the 1848 Revolution, a period marked by widespread political unrest and social inequality. "Lherbette" serves as a biting critique of the corrupt and incompetent politicians who failed the French people. Daumier's sharp wit and incisive observations make this work a timeless reminder of the dangers of political excess and social injustice.

His ability to combine humor, social commentary, and artistic skill made him one of the most influential figures in the history of satire.

Feelings Conveyed: Ridicule, Disillusionment, and the Power of Satire

Daumier's "Lherbette" evokes a range of emotions, from ridicule to disillusionment. The exaggerated features and chaotic background create a sense of absurdity, while the political context adds a layer of sobering commentary.
