• This portrait was commissioned as a gift for Philip V of Spain. However, it was such a success at court that it was never sent to Spain.
• Every detail of the work is aimed at producing the quintessential image of absolute power: – the nobility of the antique setting, – the crimson curtain, and – royal fleur de lys.

Gargantua
• When Honore Daumier was 24 he was first censored for his caricature of the French king Louis-Philippe.
• This took place within the first years of the July Monarchy, and the king felt paranoid and insecure in his seat of power.
• In the caricature, entitled "Gargantua", the king is represented as a giant gourmand, – a character taken from Francois Rabelais' series of stories, which were
themselves censored by the Sorbonne.
• The fat king sits in front of the National Assembly on a large commode. • A huge plank comes out of his mouth on which rewards travel down to the
eager officials beneath. • Standing around his small, cripples legs are tattered workers and starving
mothers who drop coins into the baskets on ministers.
