Midjourney Monday: Meet Honoré Daumier

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor%C3%A9_Daumier

This French artist (1808-1879) is perhaps best known for his caricatures, but he was also a capable painter, and I guess he must have painted a bunch of images set in the early ninteenth century, because you can prompt Midjourney with his name and various Jane Austen characters and get something halfway plausible:

Yes, I know Austen said that Jane Bennet was the one who liked green, but these sure look like Lizzy and Darcy to me.

Marianne Dashwood and Colonel Brandon

Jane Bennet and Charles Bingley

Frederick Wentworth and Anne Elliot

    1. Thank you! The format was character name and character name (plus “from novel name” if Midj didn’t seem to get what I was talking about on the first run) as painted by honore daumier –ar 2:3
