EDITORS COMMENTS
Qu'as-tu donc, Robert?... (What have you done, Robert?) is a captivating lithograph by the renowned 19th century French artist, Honore Daumier. This monochromatic masterpiece, created in the mid-1800s, showcases Daumier's exceptional skill in caricature and satire. The image depicts a group of men, including the central figure, Robert Macaire, a notorious con man and fictional character, who was a common subject of Daumier's work. Daumier's depiction of Robert and his companions is both humorous and thought-provoking. The men are shown in various stages of reaction, with some looking on in shock, others in amusement, and one even appearing to cover his eyes in disbelief. The artist's use of lettering and bold, black lines adds to the overall effect, creating a sense of energy and movement. This lithograph is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France and the 19th century. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the cultural and social issues of the time. The image is now a cherished piece of art history, and can be found in many prestigious galleries and museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. The scene is set in a rural location, with the men gathered around a table, suggesting a sense of community and camaraderie. However, the title of the work and the shocked expressions on the faces of the men suggest that Robert has once again outwitted his unsuspecting victims. The image is a reminder of the power of fiction and the enduring appeal of a good story, even as it pokes fun at the human tendency to be deceived. Overall, "Qu'as-tu donc, Robert?" is a captivating work of art that continues to intrigue and delight viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the timeless power of satire and caricature.
