Sainte Rosette Tamisier ... c. 19th century

"Sainte Rosette Tamisier..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in the 19th century. The satirical artwork depicts a caricature of a religious figure, “Rosette Tamisier”, performing a miracle and transforming a man, presumably “Père Veuillot”, into an angel. This is a characteristic example of Daumier's style, known for its sharp critique of societal issues and political figures through caricature. The artwork's message is open to interpretation, potentially targeting religious hypocrisy or the abuse of power within the Church. The visual impact relies on exaggeration and humor to convey a critical perspective on religious practices and figures of authority.
