EDITORS COMMENTS
Esquisse pour l'Hôtel de Ville de Paris: Hommage de la Ville de Paris à Victor Hugo, 1894" is a stunning oil painting created by the renowned French artist Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. This masterpiece, a tribute to Victor Hugo from the City of Paris, was completed in 1894 and is now a cherished part of the collection at the Petit Palais in Paris, Ile de France, France. The painting depicts two elderly men, dressed in blue robes, seated in a serene and contemplative setting. The figure on the left, with a harp in hand, represents the City of Paris, while the figure on the right, dressed in a simple robe and holding a stringed instrument, is Victor Hugo. The use of muted colors and the subtle symbolism in the painting reflect the artist's Symbolist style. The men are dressed in apparel befitting their roles as esteemed figures in French culture. The robe of the figure representing Paris is adorned with intricate patterns and folds, symbolizing the rich heritage and history of the city. Hugo's robe, on the other hand, is simple and unadorned, reflecting his humility and dedication to his art. The painting is a testament to the deep appreciation and respect the City of Paris had for Victor Hugo, who had made significant contributions to French literature and culture. The harp and stringed instrument, musical instruments often associated with the poet, serve as symbols of the artistic and musical legacy of both men. This beautiful oil painting, a sketch for the Hotel de Ville de Paris, is a must-see for anyone interested in French art, history, or literature. It is a reminder of the enduring influence of Victor Hugo and the importance of preserving the artistic and cultural heritage of Paris.
