EDITORS COMMENTS
Voyez, Mr. Mayeux, cet animal... (Look, Mr. Mayeux, at this animal, 1836) is a captivating hand-coloured lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This masterpiece, created in the mid-19th century, showcases Daumier's exceptional skill in caricature and satire. In the image, a man, identified as Mr. Mayeux, is seated, intently studying an orangutan, his face a picture of fascination and curiosity. The orangutan, a popular exotic attraction during that era, sits before him, its expression conveying a sense of amusement and intelligence. Daumier's use of grotesque and humorous depiction adds a unique touch to this scene, making it a standout piece of 19th-century art. The orangutan, with its distinctive features, is rendered in intricate detail, its fur textured and lifelike. The use of hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a visually striking work of art. The title, "Voyez, Mr. Mayeux, cet animal," is inscribed at the bottom of the print, adding a playful and whimsical touch to the piece. This satirical work by Honore Daumier is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of human nature and the fascination with the exotic. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly in the realm of caricature and satire. This hand-coloured lithograph is currently on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is a cherished piece of French cultural heritage.
