EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a poignant moment from Victor Hugo's iconic novel, "Les Misérables". The image depicts Jean Valjean being received and cared for by Bishop Myriel in the 19th century. In this powerful scene, the compassionate bishop extends his generosity to Valjean, who has just been released from prison. The candlelit room creates an atmosphere of warmth and solace as Bishop Myriel sits at a table with Valjean. Their interaction is filled with empathy and understanding, symbolizing the transformative power of forgiveness and redemption. This illustration beautifully captures the essence of Hugo's literary masterpiece. Victor Marie Hugo, the renowned French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement, created unforgettable characters like Jean Valjean that continue to resonate with readers today. His works are celebrated for their exploration of social injustice and human suffering. This print showcases Frederic Theodore Lix's skillful engraving technique while paying homage to one of France's greatest writers. It serves as a visual reminder of the enduring impact that literature can have on society by shedding light on important issues through storytelling. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are reminded not only of our shared humanity but also of our capacity for compassion and redemption even in times of adversity.
