EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant illustration from Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, we witness the heart-wrenching moment of Jean Valjean's death. Captured by Gustave Brion in 1862, this engraving beautifully portrays the final moments of a beloved literary character. Valjean, portrayed as an old man on his deathbed, is surrounded by his family who mourn his passing. The scene exudes a sense of profound sadness and loss as loved ones gather to bid farewell to their patriarch. Through Brion's masterful use of light and shadow, he skillfully conveys the somber atmosphere that permeates the room. As we gaze upon this print, our hearts are filled with empathy for Valjean and admiration for Hugo's enduring tale. We reflect on the themes of redemption and sacrifice that run deep within Les Miserables - a story that has touched countless souls throughout history. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the impact literature can have on our lives. It invites us to contemplate our own mortality while cherishing those precious connections we forge with others along life's journey. With its timeless beauty and emotional resonance, this illustration captures not only Valjean's demise but also echoes universal human experiences such as love, loss, and legacy. It stands as a testament to both Hugo's genius storytelling and Brion’s artistic prowess – forever immortalizing one of literature’s most memorable characters in visual form.
