EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a detailed section of Fernand Cormon's painting "Cain" which serves as an illustration for Victor Hugo's renowned novel, "The Legend of the Siecles". The artwork, created in 1880 using oil on canvas, measures an impressive size of 3.80 x 7 meters and is housed at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. In this particular detail, we are transported to a world where prehistoric man roams alongside children and adults alike. The artist skillfully portrays the innocence and curiosity of childhood through his depiction of a young child holding onto a bearer's hand. This intimate connection between human beings from different eras reminds us that despite the passage of time, our shared humanity remains constant. As we delve deeper into this scene, we notice another figure seated in a wheelchair or sedan chair. Perhaps representing Victor Hugo himself due to his association with the novel being illustrated here. This inclusion adds an intriguing layer to the composition as it hints at themes such as youthfulness juxtaposed with aging or disability. Through this remarkable photograph by Photo Josse, we are given access to both artistry and literature intertwined seamlessly within one frame. It invites us to contemplate not only the beauty captured by Cormon but also ponder upon Hugo's timeless words that continue to resonate with audiences today.
