Vois-tu, c'est l'éclipse qui commence ... c. 19th century

"Vois-tu, c'est l'éclipse qui commence..." (Do you see, it's the eclipse that's beginning...) is a satirical lithograph created by Honoré Daumier in the 19th century. This work exemplifies Daumier's mastery of social commentary through caricature. It depicts two men, likely Parisians, discussing an eclipse, one pointing upwards and the other appearing skeptical. Daumier's signature use of exaggerated features and expressive lines humorously highlights the contrast between those who readily believe and those who are more critical. This print is a testament to Daumier's lasting impact on art and his ability to capture the essence of social life in his time.
