Les Métamorphoses du Jour is an original Modern Artwork realized in the 1830s by the French artist Grandville. Original Lithograph hand watercolor. Inscripted on the lower central margin. Dimensions: cm 27 x 36. Mint conditions. Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard (Nancy, Meurthe-et-Moselle, 1803 – Vanves, 1847). The name ''Grandville'' was his grandparents' professional stage name. Grandville received his first instruction in drawing from his father, a painter of miniatures. At the age of twenty-one he moved to Paris, and soon afterwards published a collection of lithographs entitled Les Tribulations de la petite proprieté. Grandville's ability for political provocation made his work much in demand. He worked in a wide variety of formats, from his first job illustrating the parlor game Old Maid, to illustrated newspaper strips of which he was a master. His illustrations for Le Diable à Paris (''The Devil In Paris''; 1844–46) were used by Walter Benjamin for his study of that city as an urban organism. One of Grandville's supreme achievements, at a time when French printing technology was ascendant, was Les Fleurs Animées, a series of images that are both poetic and satirical. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
