EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ruins of the castle of Arques la Bataille, as depicted in a drawing by the renowned artist Victor Hugo. The 19th-century artwork measures 17.4x22 cm and is currently housed at Marseille's Chateau Borely Museum of Decorative Arts, Faience, and Fashion. Victor Hugo, known for his literary masterpieces such as "Les Misérables" and "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" also possessed a talent for visual arts. In this drawing, he skillfully captures the essence of the medieval castle's remains with intricate details that transport viewers to another time. The image exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as it transports us back to the Middle Ages. The crumbling walls and weathered stones tell tales of battles fought long ago, while nature slowly reclaims its territory around them. This small castle complex resembles something out of a fairy tale or royal legend. It sparks our imagination with visions of knights in shining armor and damsels in distress seeking refuge within its walls. It serves as a reminder that even grand structures can succumb to time's relentless passage. Jean Bernard expertly captured this piece from Musee Borely in Marseille, France, preserving its historical significance for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Victor Hugo, we are reminded not only of his literary genius but also his ability to bring history alive through artistry.
