EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Paris under Fire, 19th Century" takes us back in time to a tumultuous era of history. Created by the talented artist Daniel Urrabieta Vierge, this print is a powerful depiction of the city of Paris during a period of intense conflict. The image showcases the moonlit skyline of Paris, with its iconic bridges spanning over the serene Seine River. However, amidst this picturesque scene, chaos ensues as bombs rain down upon the city. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and destruction caused by these attacks. Published in Victor Hugo's renowned work "Cent dessins" this engraving serves as an illustration for one of his poems that vividly describes the horrors faced by Parisians during war. Hugo himself was not only a celebrated writer but also an influential figure in French literature and politics. As we gaze at this historical artwork, we are reminded of the resilience and strength displayed by both artists like Victor Hugo and ordinary citizens who endured such trying times. This print stands as a testament to their bravery and determination in facing adversity head-on.
