Honoré Daumier was a French artist and caricaturist born in 1808. He is best known for his satirical and politically charged drawings and lithographs, which often skewered and critiqued the social and political landscape of 19th-century France. Daumier's work was highly influential and has been praised for its incisive wit and keen observation of human behavior. In addition to his satirical works, Daumier was also a skilled painter and sculptor, creating a wide range of works that encompassed both political commentary and more traditional subjects. His work continues to be celebrated for its sharp insight and enduring relevance.
