EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Cosette, a beloved character from Victor Hugo's timeless masterpiece, Les Misérables. Illustrated by Emile Antoine Bayard in 1862, this representation showcases Cosette as a young girl sweeping barefoot, symbolizing her impoverished and challenging upbringing. The image evokes a sense of melancholy and resilience as we witness Cosette's determination to overcome adversity. Her delicate features and somber expression reflect the hardships she endures while also hinting at her inner strength. The broom she holds becomes a poignant symbol of her daily struggles and responsibilities. Through this illustration, we are transported into the world of 19th-century France, where poverty was rampant, especially among children like Cosette. It serves as a powerful reminder of the social injustices that plagued society during that time. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully brings this historical artwork to life through vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. This particular print is part of his private collection and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the beauty within despair. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing portrait, we cannot help but be reminded of the enduring power of literature in capturing human experiences across generations. It serves as both an homage to Victor Hugo's literary genius and an invitation for us to reflect on our own capacity for compassion amidst adversity.
