Honoré Daumier's masterpiece.
Almost all of Honoré Daumier's early works were published in satirical magazines, attacking government corruption and imperfect laws. After he was imprisoned, satirical magazine stopped publishing, and Du Miai resumed publishing his satirical works in Noisy magazine. Small clay sculptures that once shaped the politicians of the July Dynasty also occupy an important position in the history of sculpture.

Besides satirical paintings, there are 3958 lithographs by Du Miai in 1904. His oil paintings never conform to the taste of the market, but only follow his own wishes. His brushwork is bold and powerful, with a high degree of originality, depicting the ordinary life of the lower class people, such as the third-class carriage, the washerwoman who climbed the stairs wearily, the drinker in the pub, and drawing some historical paintings, depicting the French Revolution and satirizing the monarch. His style became a pioneer of naturalism. He created many series of works, such as Don Quixote, with 29 oil paintings and 49 sketches. 1900, the French Academy of Fine Arts held an exhibition of his works. His works are preserved in important museums around the world, including the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum. Private painting institutions such as the French matzo paris Art Foundation are also proud to own Honoré Daumier's works. Most of Honoré Daumier's works are collected by museums or private institutions, and there are few works circulating in the market, which are of high value. It is reported that at a recent Paris auction, a small oil painting by Honoré Daumier painter Honoré Daumier was sold at a high price of 3 million euros.

This painting entitled "Venetian aristocrats" is one of the important art collections of matzo paris Art Foundation and one of the important works of Mr. Du Miai. This painting continues Honoré Daumier's consistent creative style, with bold and powerful brushwork, high originality, satire and political significance. Venetian aristocrats played an important role in the social structure of Venice in the early Renaissance, whether as the ruling class politically, as the owners of means of production and wealth economically, or as a special group of upper class in social life. The Venetian Noble reflects Honoré Daumier's high satire on this class.
