EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Juliette Drouet, a prominent figure in the life of renowned French writer Victor Hugo. Painted by Charles Voillemot, this watercolor on paper piece beautifully captures the essence of Drouet's enigmatic personality. With her long flowing hair and elegant sash, she exudes an air of grace and allure. Drouet was not just any ordinary woman; she was Hugo's beloved mistress for over five decades. This intimate connection is evident in the way Voillemot portrays her with such tenderness and admiration. The artist skillfully captures the depth of their relationship through his brushstrokes, revealing both vulnerability and strength in Drouet's expression. Displayed at Maison de Victor Hugo in Paris, France, this artwork serves as a testament to their enduring love story. It stands as a reminder that passion knows no boundaries or conventions. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when forbidden romances were whispered about behind closed doors. We can almost feel the intensity of their connection emanating from the canvas. This portrait immortalizes Juliette Drouet not only as an actress but also as Victor Hugo's devoted companion throughout his tumultuous life. It is a celebration of love that defied societal norms and continues to inspire us today.
