DescriptionHonoré Daumier worked in a wide range of media including oils, watercolours, drawings, sculpture and lithographs. A strong believer in the French Republic, Daumier’s perceptive visual comments on the political and social mores of mid 19th France were published in the satirical journals La Caricature and Le Charivari. From 1863, Honoré Daumier, at the suggestion of the landscape painter Charles François Daubigny, began to spend his summers at Valmondois, two miles north of
Auvers-sur-Oise in France, where the artist J.B.C. Corot had helped him acquire a house. Two yeas later Daumier settled there permanently. (JO'D)
