"Vautrin" is a series of works by Honoré Daumier, a renowned French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor, best known for his editorial cartoons and social commentary through art. The series is based on the character Vautrin, a figure from Honoré de Balzac's "La Comédie Humaine," specifically from novels such as "Le Père Goriot" and "Splendeurs et misères des courtisanes." Vautrin is a complex character, a master criminal and manipulative figure who embodies both charismatic leadership and moral ambiguity.

Daumier's "Vautrin" series captures the essence of this character through a number of lithographs, which were a part of his broader work critiquing French society and politics during the 19th century. His portrayal of Vautrin is significant as it reflects the artist's interest in the social undercurrents of his time and the psychological depth of Balzac's characters. Daumier's lithographs often appeared in publications like "La Caricature" and "Le Charivari," where he used his art to satirize the legal system, political figures, and the bourgeoisie.

The "Vautrin" lithographs are characterized by Daumier's distinctive style, which includes expressive line work, dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, and a keen eye for the absurdities of human behavior. Through these works, Daumier not only brought Balzac's character to life but also used Vautrin as a vehicle to explore themes of power, corruption, and social stratification.

Daumier's works, including the "Vautrin" series, have been widely recognized for their artistic merit and historical significance. They are held in high esteem by art historians and are considered an important part of the canon of 19th-century French art. The "Vautrin" lithographs remain a testament to Daumier's skill as an artist and his sharp social commentary, offering a window into the cultural and political landscape of his era.
