Meanwhile, in the life of Honoré Daumier
The whole life1846
Move to the Île Saint-Louis; Meeting Baudelaire
In 1846 the couple moved to 9 Quai d'Anjou on the Île Saint-Louis, where they lived until 1863. Writers and artists gathered at the nearby Hôtel de Lauzun; there Daumier met Baudelaire, who became his close friend and champion, and grew close to Corot, Courbet, Delacroix, Millet, and Rousseau.
2 February 1846
Birth of His Son Honoré
On 2 February 1846 the seamstress Alexandrine Dassy gave birth to Daumier's son, named Honoré.
16 April 1846
Marriage to Alexandrine Dassy
On 16 April 1846 Daumier married Alexandrine Dassy.
1848
Sketch "The Republic" Among Competition Finalists
On Courbet's advice, Daumier submitted an oil sketch, "The Republic" (now in the Musée d'Orsay), to the competition for an allegory of the new Republic; it was very well received and was among the twenty finalists, but Daumier never executed the finished painting.
1848
Albums on the Revolution of 1848
The Revolution of 1848 provided the material for two of Daumier's albums, "Parliamentary Idylls" and "The Representatives Represented"; he once again launched a political campaign in the pages of Le Charivari.
1849
First Participation in the Salon
In 1849 Daumier exhibited at the Salon for the first time, showing the painting "The Miller, His Son, and the Donkey"; from the late 1840s he devoted himself increasingly to painting.
