EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Départ de l'hiver" (The Start of Winter), a captivating 19th century lithograph by Honore Daumier, transports us back in time to an era of antique charm and allegorical storytelling. This monochrome masterpiece, created by the renowned French artist, depicts the departure of winter personified as an elderly man, dressed in grey and heavy clothing, bidding farewell to the seasons with a sense of melancholic humor. Daumier, a prominent figure in the artistic school of caricature, expertly employs the use of allegorical figures to convey the concept of winter's passing. The man, with a soldier's helmet and a long, flowing robe, stands at the edge of a bridge, looking back at a group of people dressed in winter apparel, who are huddled together, seemingly reluctant to let go of the season. The intricate lettering in the lower part of the lithograph reads, "Adieu, mon ami," (Farewell, my friend), adding a poignant touch to the scene. The use of black and white, or bw and monochrome, further enhances the timeless quality of the artwork, making it a must-see addition to any art center or gallery, showcasing the rich heritage of 19th century French art. This lithograph, with its blend of humour, illustration, and historical significance, is a testament to Daumier's artistic genius and his ability to capture the essence of a concept through his caricatures. A true treasure for anyone with an appreciation for the arts and an interest in the history of fashion and culture. This work of art, "Le Départ de l'hiver," is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and is a must-see for anyone visiting the gallery or interested in the works of Honore Daumier.
