From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record
The Fugitives was Daumier's last and most dramatic rendering of the refugee theme. It might refer to events surrounding the onset of the Franco-Prussian war or to the insurrection of the commune in France in 1870. Daumier was less interested in depicting specific events than in responding to the depth of human suffering caused by these events. Europe
