EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "La Cahute" is an illustration from Victor Hugo's renowned novel, L'Homme qui rit. Created by Alphonse Marie de Neuville in the 19th century, this print showcases the intriguing character of Ursus, a philosopher and street entertainer. In this image, we see Ursus inside his mobile home - a humble abode on wheels. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the atmosphere of 19th-century France. With his walking stick in hand and surrounded by domestic animals, Ursus exudes wisdom and serenity. Victor Hugo himself was a prominent figure in French literature during the Romantic movement. Known for his poetic prowess and gripping storytelling abilities, he remains one of France's greatest writers. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Hugo's work through this evocative depiction. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene while emphasizing Ursus' contemplative nature. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen within its monochromatic beauty. It serves as a testament to both Hugo's literary genius and Neuville's artistic talent. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also provides insight into an era long gone – where philosophy intertwined with entertainment on bustling streets illuminated solely by candlelight.
