EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, created by Jean-François Raffaëlli in 1903, depicts the lively and joyous celebration of Victor Hugo's 80th birthday on February 27, 1881. The scene unfolds on Avenue de Villiers in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, where a grand gathering of people has come together to honor the renowned French author, poet, and dramatist. The image captures the essence of the historic moment, with a diverse crowd of men and women, young and old, gathered around the Maison de Victor Hugo, the author's residence. The buildings in the background, adorned with flags and banners, add to the festive atmosphere. At the center of the composition, Victor Hugo, seated in a chair, smiles warmly as he is surrounded by his family, including his grandchildren, and other notable figures. The artist, Jean-François Raffaëlli, masterfully captures the sense of unity and joy that permeated the occasion. The oil painting, with its rich colors and vibrant brushstrokes, transports us back in time to this significant moment in French literary history. The celebration of Hugo's 80th birthday was a testament to his enduring legacy as a novelist, poet, and playwright, and this painting serves as a visual reminder of the historic event and the cultural heritage it represents.
