Par suite de la maladie de la vigne
EDITORS COMMENTS
(As a result of grapevine disease), a poignant and humorous lithograph by the renowned 19th century French artist Honore Daumier. This black and white image, created in the heart of the antique century, offers a profound commentary on the societal impact of the grapevine disease that devastated the French wine industry during that time. The print depicts a group of disheveled men, dressed in traditional 19th century clothing, gathered around a table in a dimly lit tavern. Their faces express a range of emotions, from despair to resignation, as they drink from their glasses, seemingly trying to drown their sorrows. The lettering above the scene reads "Par suite de la maladie de la vigne," emphasizing the cause of their collective misery. Daumier masterfully employs caricature and parody to convey the gravity of the situation, while also infusing the image with a touch of humour. The men's clothing, with its exaggerated folds and wrinkles, adds to the overall sense of decay and despair. The monochrome palette further emphasizes the somber mood, while the grey tones add depth and texture to the image. This work of art is a testament to the power of art to reflect and comment on the social and historical context of its time. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, fashion, or the cultural impact of the grapevine disease on 19th century France. This print is currently on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery.
