EDITORS COMMENTS
On dit qu'on commence déjà à la voir... (We're starting to see it...) is a captivating lithograph by the renowned 19th century French artist, Honore Daumier. This thought-provoking artwork, titled "On dit qu'on commence deja a la voir... The comet of 1857: women discussing the appearance of the comet," depicts a group of old women gathered around a candlelit table, deep in conversation. One woman inquires about the location of the comet, to which another replies, "near Cherbourg." The women express their curiosity and excitement about the comet's appearance, but also their growing fear. One woman asks, "With its tail?" The reply is, "No, the tail hasn't grown yet, but it won't be long, it already has some hair." Two of the women admit that they are starting to feel afraid. This evocative image, created in black and white, captures the essence of the natural phenomenon that captivated the world in 1857. The women's expressions convey a sense of wonder, curiosity, and apprehension, adding to the overall mood of the artwork. The use of candles and the dimly lit room creates an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue. Honore Daumier, a master of satire and parody, expertly captures the human reaction to the unknown in this lithograph. The image invites us to reflect on the way that natural phenomena can both inspire awe and instill fear in us. This artwork is a testament to the power of art to capture the human experience and transport us to another time and place. This lithograph is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the natural world, or the human condition.
