EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from Victor Hugo's timeless masterpiece, Les Misérables. Illustrated by Meaulle, Fortune Louis in 1865, the scene depicts Javert relentlessly chasing after Valjean with unwavering determination. The intensity of the pursuit is palpable as Javert, portrayed as a resolute soldier armed with a rifle, races through the darkened streets. The artist skillfully conveys the suspense and urgency of this iconic chase that has captivated readers for generations. Hugo's Les Misérables delves into themes of justice, redemption, and compassion amidst social inequality. This illustration comes from Tome II, specifically the fifth book titled "A Chasse Noire, Meute Muette" or "Silent Pack on a Dark Hunt". It serves as a visual representation of Javert's relentless pursuit to bring Valjean to justice while also exploring their complex relationship. As one gazes upon this powerful image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it becomes evident that it not only showcases an unforgettable moment in literature but also highlights the immense talent of both Hugo and Meaulle. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring impact that Les Misérables continues to have on audiences worldwide and invites viewers to immerse themselves in its rich narrative.
