SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
The satirical press provided an essential arena for Honoré Daumier (1808–1879). Born in Marseille and brought to Paris as a child, he earned his living from 1830 by drawing caricatures targeting government, professions and the bourgeoisie. An image of Louis-Philippe led to his imprisonment in 1832. His prints addressed contemporary events and fashions, while his paintings often explored literary subjects. The National Gallery notes his connections with Delacroix, Millet and Corot. The Art Institute of Chicago lists Rue Transnonain and a print from Les Femmes Socialistes among his works. From 1872, his declining eyesight accompanied an almost retired life in Valmondois.
This profile brings together identity references for Honoré Daumier and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
