EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Abandonment of Ariadne" is a remarkable piece created by the talented French artist Honore Daumier in 1842. Published in le Charivari on September 4th, this print showcases Daumier's exceptional skill and artistic vision. The composition depicts a poignant scene from ancient history, plate 24 of the series "Ancient History". In it, we witness the heart-wrenching moment when Ariadne is abandoned by Theseus on the island of Naxos. Daumier masterfully captures Ariadne's despair and vulnerability as she gazes into the distance with tears streaming down her face. Measuring at approximately 34.3 x 26.7 cm (13 1/2 x 10 1/2 in. ), this lithograph showcases Daumier's attention to detail and his ability to convey emotions through art. The image itself measures about 23.9 x 20 cm (9 7/16 x 7 7/8 in. ), highlighting the intricate lines and shading that bring life to this tragic moment. Daumier collaborated with Aubert for its publication, ensuring that his work reached a wide audience through le Charivari newspaper. This collaboration allowed for widespread appreciation of his talent and cemented his place as one of France's most celebrated artists during the mid-19th century.
