The Troubadour, 1868-1873 (oil on fabric)
499489 The Troubadour, 1868-1873 (oil on fabric)
by Daumier, Honore (1808-79); 99.50x73.00 (framed) 83.60x56.80 (unframed) cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: The troubadour, a medieval traveling poet and entertainer, was a popular subject in 19th-century French art. Associated with chivalry and courtly love, the theme reflects a broader, romantic fascination with Frances medieval past. Although Daumier was particularly inspired by the troubadour paintings of French Rococo artist Jean-Antoine Watteau of the 1700s, he rendered the subject here in a powerful style of simplified, muscular form that appealed to modern artists of his own time.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Troubadour, painted by Honore Daumier in 1868-1873, captures the essence of a medieval traveling poet and entertainer. This oil on fabric print showcases Daumier's powerful style of simplified, muscular form that appealed to modern artists of his time. Inspired by the troubadour paintings of French Rococo artist Jean-Antoine Watteau from the 1700s, Daumier brings a contemporary touch to this traditional subject. The troubadour theme reflects a broader fascination with France's medieval past and its association with chivalry and courtly love. In this artwork, we see a male musician passionately engrossed in playing his lute while singing. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to the scene as if we can almost hear the melodious tunes emanating from his instrument. The Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio proudly houses this remarkable piece as part of their collection. Donated by Leonard C. Hanna Jr. , it stands as a testament to Daumier's artistic prowess and his ability to reinterpret historical subjects for modern audiences. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only the skillful brushstrokes but also the rich cultural heritage that inspired artists throughout history.
