{"product_id":"les-metamorphoses-du-jour-31","title":"Home of the Hare by J.J. Grandville","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis captivating hand-colored lithograph from J.J. Grandville's celebrated \"Les Métamorphoses du Jour\" presents a deliciously ironic domestic tableau: a well-dressed hare, caught lounging at home with his companion, faces an unwelcome visitor bearing a hunting rifle. The visual joke deepens with the mounted deer head on the wall, suggesting our hare protagonist is himself a hunter now facing the tables turned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrandville's genius for anthropomorphic satire made him the foremost French caricaturist of the Romantic era. His animal-headed figures, dressed in contemporary bourgeois fashion, offered pointed commentary on French society that could evade censorship while delighting readers. This plate, numbered LV in the series, demonstrates his masterful ability to convey human emotion through animal physiognomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted by the distinguished Parisian firm of J. Claye for the 1854 Gustave Havard edition, this example features the characteristic delicate hand-coloring that brings Grandville's satirical vision to vivid life. A distinguished example of mid-19th century French illustration at its most witty and technically accomplished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5\" x 10.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e J.J.
