Painting Description
"Robert-Macaire Avocat" is a lithograph created by the French artist Honoré Daumier, first published around 1836. The work is part of a larger series of lithographs featuring the character Robert Macaire, a stereotypical con artist and embodiment of unscrupulous business practices, which Daumier produced for the newspaper "La Caricature" during the July Monarchy in France. In this particular print, Daumier depicts Macaire as a lawyer, or 'avocat' in French, a role in which he is likely offering dubious legal advice or engaging in deceitful courtroom tactics.
The character of Robert Macaire became a symbol of the corruption of the bourgeoisie and the moral decay within the legal and financial systems of the time. Daumier's satirical portrayal of Macaire in various professional guises critiqued the social and political climate under King Louis-Philippe I, with the character's activities often mirroring real scandals of the era.
Daumier's work is renowned for its sharp social commentary and its significant role in the development of satirical lithography. "Robert-Macaire Avocat" exemplifies Daumier's skill in using caricature to critique the societal issues of his day, and it remains an important piece of 19th-century French art and political satire. The lithograph is not only a testament to Daumier's artistic talent but also to his courage in confronting the powerful through his art, as his work often led to legal troubles, including imprisonment.
As an influential figure in the history of printmaking, Daumier's "Robert-Macaire" series, including "Robert-Macaire Avocat," continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its historical significance in the context of the social and political upheaval of 19th-century France.
