GRANDVILLE – Les Metamorphoses Du Jour – Original Antique French Mid-19th Century Hand-Colored Lithograph – Anthropomorphic Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard (1803 – 1847) was a prolific French illustrator and caricaturist who published under the pseudonym of Grandville, and numerous variations (e. g. Jean-Jacques Grandville, Jean Ignace Isidore Grandville) throughout his career. Art historians and critics have called him « the first star of French caricature’s great age » and described his illustrations as featuring « elements of the symbolic, dreamlike, and incongruous » while retaining a sense of social commentary, and « the strangest and most pernicious transfigurement of the human shape ever produced by the Romantic imagination ». The anthropomorphic vegetables and zoomorphic figures that populated his cartoons anticipated and influenced the work of generations of cartoonists and illustrators. Grandville was born in 1803, in Nancy, France into a family of artist and actors and received his earliest instruction in drawing from his father. He moved to Paris about 1823–1825 and began designing illustrations. His reputation was established in 1829 when he published a set of 70 lithographs titled Les Métamorphoses du jour. During the July Revolution of 1830 and the turbulent years that followed, he worked with Honoré Daumier and others producing provocative political cartoons for periodicals that were highly critical of the new monarchy of Louis Philippe I. After strict censorship laws were passed and threats from the police in 1835, Grandville turned to book illustration. He illustrated several classics such as La Fontaine’s Fables, Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, and Cervantes’s Don Quixote. In later years his books were increasingly centered around his illustrations, with the text written for his images e.g. Un autre monde (1844), Cent proverbes: têxte par trois Tetes dans un bonnet (1845), and Les fleurs animées (1846). Grandville typically made drawings for publishers that were later copied into lithographs and woodcuts by professional engravers, only occasionally did he make his own prints. -Source: Wikipedia Perfect for Framing and a wonderful gift idea for someone who appreciates Art, and History Your items will be carefully wrapped in protective packaging to ensure safe arrival.
