"La Mi-carême - Au Bal De L'opéra - Vivent Les Flambards" is an 1868 lithograph by the French artist Honoré Daumier, known for his social and political commentary through his works. This piece is part of Daumier's extensive oeuvre that often satirized the mores of Parisian society, the legal profession, and the political climate of his time. The title translates to "Mid-Lent - At the Opera Ball - Long Live the Dandies," and it captures the revelry and the spirit of the annual celebrations that took place at the Paris Opera during the Mi-carême, or mid-Lent, a day that provided a break from the austerity of Lent with festivities and masquerade balls.

In "La Mi-carême - Au Bal De L'opéra - Vivent Les Flambards," Daumier depicts a lively scene filled with masked and costumed figures, capturing the exuberance and the carnivalesque atmosphere of the event. The term "flambards," a colloquial expression of the time, refers to dandies or flamboyant characters, suggesting a certain extravagance and perhaps a critique of the ostentatious display of wealth and frivolity among the Parisian elite.

Daumier's lithograph is characterized by his distinctive style, which employs fluid lines and expressive caricature to convey both the energy of the scene and a critical undercurrent. His work often appeared in newspapers and periodicals, making his art accessible to a broad audience and serving as a visual commentary on contemporary events and social issues.

As with many of Daumier's lithographs, "La Mi-carême - Au Bal De L'opéra - Vivent Les Flambards" not only provides a glimpse into the cultural practices of 19th-century France but also serves as a timeless reflection on the human condition, social stratification, and the role of satire in art. The piece remains an important example of Daumier's legacy as a master lithographer and a keen observer of society.
