EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from Victor Hugo's timeless novel, "Les Misérables". Illustrated by Emile Bayard, the scene depicts Jean Valjean heroically carrying the wounded Marius on his back as they flee through the treacherous waters of Paris. The intensity of their escape is palpable as they navigate the city's sewers in an attempt to evade capture. Bayard's engraving skillfully conveys the desperation and determination etched onto Valjean's face, highlighting his unwavering commitment to saving Marius. The artist expertly captures the raw emotions that permeate this climactic scene, immersing viewers into Hugo's world of love, sacrifice, and redemption. The composition exudes a sense of urgency with its dynamic lines and dramatic lighting. Every stroke adds depth to Valjean's character – a symbol of hope amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of the resilience of human spirit even in times of great turmoil. This rare print from a private collection showcases Bayard's mastery as an illustrator while paying homage to one of literature's most beloved tales. It serves as a visual testament to Hugo’s enduring legacy and invites us to reflect on themes such as justice, compassion, and personal transformation that continue to resonate today.
