"The Republic" (French: "La République") is a notable oil painting by French artist Honoré Daumier, completed in 1848. This work is significant as it reflects the political climate and social ideals of France during a tumultuous period in the country's history. Daumier, primarily known for his caricatures and satirical works, was a staunch supporter of Republican ideals, and his painting is a personification of the French Republic, imbued with symbolic meaning.

The painting depicts a female figure, an allegory of the Republic, cradling two sleeping children in her arms. She is seated, wearing a Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom and the French Revolution. The children represent the future generation, and their peaceful slumber under the protection of the Republic suggests a sense of hope and security provided by the newly established Second Republic, which was declared in 1848 after the February Revolution.

"The Republic" measures 73.5 cm by 92 cm and is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, a museum known for its extensive collection of French art from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Daumier's work is often celebrated for its social commentary and its ability to capture the spirit of the age. "The Republic" is no exception, serving as a poignant reminder of the revolutionary fervor and the democratic aspirations of the period.

Daumier's painting is not only a representation of the political landscape of 1848 but also an example of his skill in oil painting, a medium he did not frequently employ compared to his lithographs. The artwork's composition, use of color, and the tender expression of the central figure contribute to its emotional impact and its significance as a historical document. Through "The Republic," Daumier conveys a message of unity and resilience, qualities that were essential to the survival of the nascent Second Republic.
