The Contemplator, 1901. Creator: Eugene Carriere (French, 1849-1906)
The Contemplator, 1901. This painting illustrating Victor Hugos poem Boaz Sleeping is one of five images Carriere created to commemorate the centennial of Hugos birth. A reclining poet gazes at the stars above, as if in a dream, placing one hand over his heart and gesturing toward a crescent moon. The moon was thought to exert a special influence on poets and artists, inspiring not only creativity but darker thoughts of melancholy and suicide

The Contemplator, 1901
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Eugene Carriere captures the essence of Victor Hugo's poem "Boaz Sleeping" in a mesmerizing painting. Created to commemorate the centennial of Hugo's birth, this artwork showcases Carriere's exceptional talent and his deep understanding of poetic symbolism. In this image, we see a reclining poet lost in contemplation. His gaze is fixed upon the stars above, as if he is immersed in a dream-like state. With one hand placed over his heart and the other gesturing towards a crescent moon, he seems to be connecting with both celestial bodies. The presence of the moon holds great significance for poets and artists alike. It was believed to have a special influence on their creative spirits, inspiring them while also evoking darker emotions such as melancholy and thoughts of self-destruction. Carriere masterfully portrays these contrasting feelings through his brushstrokes. The softness and ethereal quality of the oil on fabric technique used adds depth to the scene, enhancing its emotional impact. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this piece exemplifies Carriere's profound artistic vision and pays homage to Victor Hugo's literary genius. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time and evoke complex emotions within us all.
