EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and satirical print titled "Les Bons Bourgeois: couple sleeping" created by the renowned artist Honore Daumier, we are transported back to 19th-century France. The image was originally published in the famous French magazine "Charivari" on May 11,1846. The scene captures a humorous portrayal of a bourgeois couple peacefully slumbering side by side. Daumier's skillful caricature technique brings out their exaggerated features and expressions, adding an extra layer of amusement to the artwork. With his keen eye for detail, he masterfully depicts their comfortable surroundings, complete with luxurious furnishings that befit their social status. This lighthearted piece offers a playful commentary on the bourgeoisie lifestyle prevalent during that era. It gently mocks their indulgent habits and highlights the contrast between their privileged existence and the realities faced by many others in society. Leonard de Selva's expertly captured photograph showcases every intricate line and stroke of Daumier's original drawing. Through this lens, we can appreciate both the artistic brilliance of Daumier as well as de Selva's talent for preserving fine art through photography. As we gaze upon this print, it serves as a reminder not only of Daumier's enduring legacy but also of our ability to find humor even in everyday situations.
