EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic presence of Victor Hugo, the renowned French author, in a three-quarter view. Created in 1885 using the drypoint technique on laid paper, this second state image measures 7 5/8 x 5 7/16 inches (19.4 x 13.8 cm). Victor Hugo is widely recognized for his literary masterpieces such as "Notre Dame de Paris" published in 1831 and "Les Misérables" released in 1862. In this portrait, captured by Auguste Rodin, another prominent figure from the artistic realm, we see an old man with a profound expression that reflects both wisdom and weariness. The process of creating this artwork was not without its challenges. The strained patience during sittings pushed Rodin to his breaking point. Despite efforts reported by another sculptor who produced a mediocre bust of Hugo earlier, Rodin managed to capture the essence of the author's character through his meticulous craftsmanship. Displayed against a plain background, Victor Hugo's intense gaze draws viewers into his world of imagination and creativity. This print serves as a testament to both artists' dedication and talent while immortalizing one genius through the lens of another.
