"Rue Transnonain" is a lithograph created by the French artist Honoré Daumier, first published on April 15, 1834. This powerful work of social commentary depicts the aftermath of a brutal event that occurred on April 14, 1834, in the Rue Transnonain, a street in Paris. The incident was part of the violent repression of a workers' uprising by government forces during the reign of King Louis-Philippe, known as the April Uprising.

Daumier's lithograph portrays the harrowing scene inside a working-class apartment, where innocent civilians were massacred by government troops in retaliation for the death of a soldier. The troops had been attacked with stones from the rooftops, and in response, they stormed the buildings of Rue Transnonain, indiscriminately killing residents. The central figure in the artwork is a lifeless man, lying atop a bloodied bed, his body covering that of a child, suggesting the senseless slaughter of even the most vulnerable. Other victims can be seen in the background, adding to the grim narrative.

The lithograph was published in "L'Association Mensuelle," a subscription publication that Daumier and his publisher Charles Philipon used to circumvent censorship laws. "Rue Transnonain" stands as a poignant example of Daumier's commitment to social justice and his mastery of lithography as a medium for political protest. The work is notable for its stark realism, emotional impact, and its critical perspective on the abuse of power. It remains one of Daumier's most famous and influential works, reflecting the artist's role as a key figure in the development of socially engaged art during the 19th century.

Daumier's "Rue Transnonain" is not only a significant piece of French political art but also an important historical document that captures the tragic consequences of state violence against civilians. It continues to resonate as a symbol of the universal struggle for human rights and dignity.
