"The God of Good People" from The Complete Works of Béranger 1836

"The God of Good People" is a satirical lithograph by J. J. Grandville, a French artist known for his fantastical and often grotesque imagery. Created in 1836, the work depicts a group of people, likely representing a society of the time, bowing down to a seemingly pompous and arrogant man, perhaps symbolizing a powerful figure or leader. Grandville’s signature blend of realism and exaggeration is evident in this artwork, making it a captivating visual commentary on human nature and social hierarchies. The artwork is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
