Honoré Daumier’s painting, “The Fugitives,” depicts refugees fleeing from their homes, possibly related to the Franco-Prussian war or the insurrection of the commune in France in 1870. The painting evokes a sense of chaos and desperation as families are shown huddled together, carrying their belongings and trying to escape. This artwork serves as a reminder of the impact of war on civilians and the displacement it can cause.
