EDITORS COMMENTS
Rifolard is more delighted than ever: A whimsical depiction of joy in survival by Honore Daumier (1848) In this lithograph by Honore Daumier, titled 'Rifolard est plus charme que jamais..' (Rifolard is more delighted than ever), we witness a man named Rifolard reveling in the simple pleasure of strolling through the streets of Boulogne under a shower of flowers. The year was 1848, and the scene is a stark contrast to the tumultuous June days that preceded it, during which the French army clashed with the people in the streets, resulting in widespread violence and loss of life. Daumier, a renowned French caricaturist and satirist, masterfully captures the essence of human resilience and appreciation for life in this image. Rifolard, dressed in a fashionable 19th-century outfit, stands amidst a backdrop of soldiers and military uniforms, yet he remains untouched by the chaos and destruction surrounding him. Instead, he is captivated by the beauty of the flowers raining down from above, a metaphorical representation of the fleeting yet precious moments of joy that life has to offer. This print was originally published in the French satirical magazine, Le Charivari, on November 16, 1848, as part of Daumier's series, 'Les Banqueteurs.' It serves as a poignant reminder of the power of joy and gratitude in the face of adversity, making it an enduring masterpiece of 19th-century art and satire.
