Painting Description
"Diableries Ou Les Diables" (Diableries or The Devils) is a series of lithographs created by the French artist Eugène Lepoittevin, also known as Eugène Le Poitevin, in the 19th century. Born in 1806, Le Poitevin was a painter, lithographer, and illustrator who became known for his diverse artistic output, which ranged from landscapes and seascapes to genre scenes and caricatures. The "Diableries" series is particularly notable for its satirical and macabre depiction of skeletons, demons, and fantastical scenes set in Hell or involving devilish characters.
The "Diableries" were produced during a period when there was a fascination with the macabre and the supernatural in European art and literature, partly influenced by the works of writers such as Edgar Allan Poe and the Gothic revival in architecture and the arts. Le Poitevin's lithographs contributed to this genre by offering a darkly humorous and often critical commentary on contemporary society and politics through the allegorical use of diabolic imagery.
The series is characterized by its intricate detail and imaginative compositions, which often include a mix of horror and humor. The scenes depicted in the "Diableries" are filled with a variety of characters, from the mischievous to the malevolent, engaging in activities that mirror the vices and follies of human society. These works are also notable for their technical skill, as lithography was a relatively new printmaking technique at the time, and Le Poitevin was among the artists who explored its potential for artistic expression.
Le Poitevin's "Diableries" gained popularity and were circulated as collectible prints, reflecting the 19th-century public's appetite for such imagery. They also served as an inspiration for other artists and were part of a larger trend of 'devilish' works that included sculptures, illustrations, and stereoscopic photographs.
Today, Eugène Le Poitevin's "Diableries" are considered important examples of French lithography and are studied for their cultural and historical significance, as well as their contribution to the visual language of satire. They are held in various art collections and institutions around the world and continue to be of interest to collectors, scholars, and enthusiasts of 19th-century art and printmaking.
