EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Jean Valjean, one of literature's most iconic characters from Victor Hugo's masterpiece "Les Misérables". Illustrated by Gustave Brion in 1866 for the edition published by Hetzel and Lacroix, this engraving showcases Brion's incredible talent in bringing Valjean to life. Jean Valjean, portrayed here with depth and emotion, is depicted as a man burdened by his past but driven by an unwavering desire for redemption. The lines etched on his face tell a story of hardship and resilience, while his piercing eyes convey both sorrow and determination. In this image, we witness the transformation of a former convict into a compassionate hero who fights against injustice. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every stroke adds texture to Valjean's worn-out clothing and reveals the weight he carries on his shoulders. The composition draws us into Valjean's world, inviting us to empathize with his struggles and root for him on his journey towards salvation. As we gaze upon this timeless portrayal of Jean Valjean, we are reminded of the power that literature holds in capturing the human experience. This print serves as a testament not only to Victor Hugo's enduring narrative but also to Brion's artistic genius. It stands as a tribute to all those who have found solace or inspiration within the pages of "Les Misérables" throughout history.
