EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Dernier Gorge du Chalice" is an illustration from the renowned novel Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. The scene depicted in this 19th-century print showcases a dramatic moment between two central characters, Jean Valjean and Cosette. As the last mouthful from the chalice symbolizes their final connection, Jean Valjean refuses to come and live with Cosette, who is now married to Marius. This poignant portrayal captures the emotional turmoil of these complex characters as they navigate love, sacrifice, and societal expectations. Victor Marie Hugo, a celebrated French poet and novelist of the Romantic movement, crafted Les Miserables as one of his most iconic works. His profound storytelling abilities have made him one of France's greatest literary figures. The artist behind this evocative illustration is Frederic Theodore Lix. Through his skilled handiwork, he brings to life the domestic yet deeply intense atmosphere that permeates throughout Hugo's masterpiece. This exquisite print serves as a testament to both Hugo's genius as a writer and Lix's talent as an illustrator. It transports viewers into the world of Les Miserables while capturing its essence through intricate details and powerful imagery. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this artwork continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and enduring significance within literature and art history.
