L'Apotheose Ou Le Triomphe De La Canaille (1884) Musee Des Beaux Arts D'Orleans-France

Paris: 1987. Notes: Apotheose is the work of an aristocrat who, like most members of the French intellectuals, had left the capital during the civil war. Painted afterwards, by an artist who did not witness the tragedy, there is nothing realistic about the painting. It essentially aims, via allegory and caricature, to put into image the reactionary writings published in the aftermath of the Commune.
Description of the scene depicted: A drunken man, wearing the trappings of royalty, sits atop a barricade. He tramples on a fallen young woman, an allegory of France, while Robert Macaire crowns him to the sound of the bass drum struck by his accomplice Bertrand., Image Size : 596x449 (mm), 23.46x17.68 (Inches), Platemark Size : , Paper Size : 696x509 (mm), 27.40x20.04 (Inches), Coloring: Printed in Color, Medium: Dubois Screen Printing, Categories: Posters; Views Europe France Paris;.
