Journey for Eternity, No. 6 1834 - 1844

"Journey for Eternity, No. 6" (1834-1844) is a lithograph by the French artist J. J. Grandville. The artwork features a group of men seated around a table, seemingly oblivious to a skeletal figure serving a dish of hearts and a pig's head. Grandville's work is known for its satirical nature, often featuring grotesque and macabre imagery. This print is a commentary on the vanity and fleeting nature of earthly pleasures juxtaposed with the inevitability of death. The use of vivid colors and exaggerated figures further accentuates the humor and dark message of the scene.
