EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "La mort de Fantine - Illustration from Les Miserables" transports us back to the 19th century. The scene depicted is a dramatic one, as Jean Valjean is arrested by Javert at the side of Fantine's deathbed. The intensity of the moment is palpable, with emotions running high in this political depiction. The artist behind this powerful illustration is Emile Antoine Bayard (1837-91), whose talent shines through in his attention to detail and ability to capture raw human emotion. This print belongs to a private collection and was published in Cent dessins: Extraits des oeuvres de Victor Hugo. Victor Marie Hugo (1802-1885), the renowned French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement, wrote Les Miserables. Considered one of France's greatest literary figures, he skillfully weaves together themes of love, redemption, and social injustice within his works. In this particular scene from Les Miserables, we witness the tragic demise of Fantine while Valjean faces arrest for revealing his true identity. The somber atmosphere surrounding their encounter adds depth to their intertwined fates. This mesmerizing engraving captures both the beauty and tragedy found within Victor Hugo's masterpiece. It serves as a poignant reminder of the power that literature holds in evoking profound emotions and connecting us with stories that transcend time.
