"A Parricide" is a notable lithograph created by the French artist Honoré Daumier, first published in 1839. Daumier, renowned for his social commentary and satirical works, often depicted the struggles and injustices of 19th-century French society. This particular lithograph is part of a series that was published in the weekly magazine "La Caricature," which played a significant role in the development of political and social satire in print media.

The artwork "A Parricide" illustrates the aftermath of a gruesome crime, where a son has murdered his father. Daumier's lithograph is not merely a depiction of a criminal act but serves as a metaphor for the political and social upheaval of the time. The image is often interpreted as a reflection of the generational conflicts and the challenges to traditional authority that were prevalent during the July Monarchy in France.

In the lithograph, Daumier employs his characteristic use of stark contrasts and dramatic expressions to convey the horror of the act and the societal implications it carries. The image is imbued with a sense of tension and moral outrage, which is typical of Daumier's critical eye and his commitment to exposing the darker aspects of human nature and societal dysfunction.

"A Parricide" is considered an important work in Daumier's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in using art as a means of social critique. It remains a powerful historical document that captures the spirit of its time and continues to resonate with audiences due to its universal themes of crime, justice, and the consequences of societal breakdown. The lithograph is preserved and studied as an example of the potent political and social impact that visual art can have, and it is often included in discussions of Daumier's contributions to the field of caricature and his legacy as a commentator on the human condition.
