The Last Moments of Victor Hugo (1802-85) - A Glimpse into the Final Farewell
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a poignant scene from history, depicting the last moments of the renowned French author and novelist, Victor Hugo. Engraved by Adrien Marie in 1885, this image showcases an intimate gathering surrounding Hugo's deathbed on 22nd May. In this solemn moment frozen in time, we witness the deep sorrow and mourning that enveloped the room. The faces of M. Georges and Mademoiselle Jeanne Hugo, his grandson and granddaughter respectively, reflect their profound grief as they bid farewell to their beloved patriarch. The composition also includes other figures who were present during this somber occasion: Dr. Allix attends to Hugo's medical needs while Mr. and Mrs. Lockroy offer solace amidst tears flowing freely down their cheeks. Auguste Vacquerie stands nearby with a heavy heart alongside Paul Meurice. Hugo lies peacefully on a grand four-poster bed adorned with a canopy, symbolizing both his elevated status as a literary giant and his imminent departure from this world. As we gaze upon this evocative engraving by Nadar (Gaspard Felix Tournachon), we are reminded of the universal experience of loss and our shared humanity in facing mortality. It serves as a powerful testament to Victor Hugo's enduring legacy as one of France's most influential writers while capturing the raw emotions experienced by those left
