"Les Métamorphoses du Jour" is a seminal work of French caricature and illustration, created by the artist Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard, who is better known by his pseudonym, J. J. Grandville. Published in a series during the years 1828-1829, this collection of seventy scenes is renowned for its inventive and satirical portrayal of human characteristics and societal mores through the depiction of anthropomorphized animals. Grandville's work in "Les Métamorphoses du Jour" stands out for its imaginative fusion of human and animal features, which not only showcases his exceptional skill as an illustrator but also serves as a critique of the political and social landscape of 19th-century France.

Each plate in the series is accompanied by a caption, which adds a layer of wit and commentary to the visual puns and metaphors presented in the illustrations. The work is characterized by its detailed and whimsical style, which would go on to influence the genre of satirical illustration in France and beyond. Grandville's ability to imbue animals with human-like expressions and situations in "Les Métamorphoses du Jour" allowed him to bypass censorship more easily than direct political commentary might have, making his work both popular and significant in the context of its time.

"Les Métamorphoses du Jour" marks an important moment in the history of illustration and caricature, bridging the gap between traditional approaches to these arts and the emerging styles that would dominate the 19th century. Grandville's legacy, as exemplified in this work, lies in his innovative approach to visual satire and his influence on subsequent generations of artists, including the surrealists, who admired his ability to blend reality and fantasy. The collection remains a pivotal reference point for scholars and enthusiasts of French art, caricature, and the history of satirical commentary.
