A notable work of his was Rue Transnonain (1834) - he intended the profits from it to support the freedom of the press. The police discovered a copy & set about confiscating every available print. Such persecution was Daumier’s lot.

=エドガー・ドガ (1834-1917)=
フランスの画家・彫刻家。印象派黎明期を支えた画家の一人である。一方自身がその枠組に入れられることを嫌ったと言われている。踊り子、構成主義、人体の動き、室内の光といった独自の価値を追求した孤高の画家だった。
Mauro Gandolfi.1764-1834. Self Portrait.1785. National Gallery of Bologna.
He was born in London into a working class family & was home-schooled by his father with an emphasis on Classics & Religion. The former inspired him, whereas the latter put him off for life. Self-Portrait (1834)
Light was his subject & he captured it with nostalgic tenderness. The Shearers (1834), A Cow Lodge with a Mossy Roof (c1829), Pear Tree in a Walled Garden (c1829) & The Bridge At Shoreham (c1829)
He died in 1837, aged 60. Nowadays it is his oil sketches, which were done directly from nature, & his cloud studies which are most respected. They have a vivacity & truthfulness which is outstanding. View of Highgate (c1834), Stonehenge (1836) & View from Highgate Hill (nd)
As the years progressed Martin’s ability for the sublime appeared to increase. His skies pound the canvases with fury! Fallen Angels in Hell (1841), Assuaging of the Waters (c1834-40), Destruction of Tyre (1840), Joshua Commanding the Sun to Stand Still (1840) & Solitude (1843)
It’s fascinating to see a Martin blockbuster applied to the Coronation. It’s likely his royal friends were delighted but to modern eyes the doll-like figures seem strangely butterfly-like. The Deluge (1834), Manfred & Alpine Watch (1837) & The Coronation of Queen Victoria (1839)
