"Ah yes those comets they always predict great misfortunes" is a notable lithograph created by the French artist Honoré Daumier, as part of his "Actualités" series. Daumier, a prolific caricaturist, painter, and sculptor, is renowned for his keen social commentary and satirical prowess, which he often expressed through his artwork. The "Actualités" series, produced during the mid-19th century, is a collection of lithographs that reflect the socio-political climate of the time, capturing the essence of contemporary events and public sentiments with incisive wit and humor.

This particular lithograph, "Ah yes those comets they always predict great misfortunes," exemplifies Daumier's ability to blend humor with critique. The artwork depicts a scene where the appearance of a comet is met with exaggerated dread and superstition, a common reaction during the era. Comets, often seen as harbingers of doom, were a source of fascination and fear, and Daumier's portrayal underscores the irrationality and hysteria that such celestial phenomena could provoke among the populace.

Daumier's mastery in lithography allowed him to produce detailed and expressive images that conveyed complex ideas succinctly. His work often targeted the follies and vices of society, from the political machinations of leaders to the everyday absurdities of common folk. In "Ah yes those comets they always predict great misfortunes," Daumier not only comments on the superstition surrounding comets but also subtly critiques the broader human tendency to succumb to fear and irrationality in the face of the unknown.

The lithograph is a testament to Daumier's enduring legacy as a sharp observer of human nature and a fearless commentator on the societal issues of his time. His contributions to the world of art and satire remain influential, and works like this continue to be studied and appreciated for their historical and artistic significance.
