EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from Victor Hugo's renowned novel series, "Notre Dame de Paris". The engraving, featured in the 1860 publication "Les bons romances" depicts a moment of both fear and amusement as crowds gather in front of Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bell ringer. The image captures the essence of French literature, with its themes of disgrace, humiliation, and derision. Quasimodo's malformation becomes a source of mockery for onlookers who are seen laughing at his expense. This portrayal highlights society's tendency to exploit and humiliate those who are different. As we delve into this powerful artwork by Stefano Bianchetti, we are reminded of Victor Hugo's ability to expose societal flaws through his writing. His masterful storytelling brings forth complex characters like Quasimodo who elicit both sympathy and discomfort within us. This print serves as a visual representation of the timeless impact that "Notre Dame de Paris" has had on readers throughout history. It invites us to reflect on our own attitudes towards others' differences and reminds us that true beauty lies beyond physical appearances. Displayed in private collections around the world, this engraving stands as an enduring testament to the profound influence of Victor Hugo's literary masterpiece.
