The "Portrait of Hector Berlioz (1803-69) formerly attributed to Honoré Daumier (1808-79)" is a notable work of art that has undergone a significant reevaluation in terms of its authorship. Initially believed to be the creation of Honoré Daumier, a prominent French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor known for his social and political commentary, the portrait has been reattributed to André Gill (1840-1885), a French caricaturist and portraitist renowned for his distinctive style and influence in the world of caricature and portraiture in the 19th century.

This portrait of Hector Berlioz, a celebrated French Romantic composer whose contributions to the development of orchestral music are monumental, represents an intersection of art and music, capturing the essence of Berlioz's character and his significance in the cultural landscape of 19th-century France. The reattribution to André Gill not only highlights the nuances of artistic style and technique that differentiate Gill from Daumier but also underscores the importance of accurate historical and artistic scholarship.

André Gill was known for his work in the French press, particularly for his caricatures of political figures and celebrities of his time, which were published in various periodicals. His ability to capture the personality and essence of his subjects with both humor and depth is evident in the portrait of Berlioz, showcasing Gill's skill in portraiture beyond his more commonly recognized caricatural work.

The portrait, through its journey from misattribution to correct identification, offers insights into the complexities of art history and the critical role of provenance and scholarly research in understanding the legacy of artists and their works. It serves not only as a visual representation of Hector Berlioz but also as a testament to the evolving understanding of 19th-century French art and the contributions of André Gill to the artistic and cultural milieu of his time.
