Oh! Ciel Madeleine!...
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned 19th century French artist, Honore Daumier. This masterpiece, a testament to Daumier's exceptional skill in caricature and satire, showcases a surprising and humorous scene. In the image, a man, likely a father, is standing in the bustling Live the Republic street, gesturing animatedly towards a woman, Madeleine, who has just passed by. The woman, dressed in the fashion of the era, appears to be oblivious to the commotion, her back turned to the man. In the foreground, a nanny or nursemaid is attending to a crying child, her face a picture of concern. The title of the work, "Oh! Ciel Madeleine!... I believe that you have left this child crying in the long live the Republic street!", adds an intriguing layer of meaning to the scene. It seems that the man is accusing Madeleine of neglecting her child in the midst of her patriotic fervor. The black eye and bruise on the man's face suggest a recent altercation, perhaps with Madeleine herself. The use of black and white, or bw, lithography adds to the timeless quality of the piece, transporting us back to the 19th century. The contrast between the seriousness of the man's accusation and the innocent crying of the child, as well as the unexpected humor of the situation, make "Oh! Ciel Madeleine!" a truly captivating work of art. This lithograph is a prime example of Daumier's ability to capture the nuances of human emotion and interaction, as well as his keen social commentary. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly in the realm of satire and caricature. Whether viewed in a gallery or art center, "Oh! Ciel Madeleine!" is sure to surprise and delight.
