EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the iconic L Arc de Triomphe as a haunting ruin, set in the 19th century. The image is derived from Victor Hugo's vivid imagination, where he envisions the Arch of Triumph as a decaying structure at the end of time. Published in Cent dessins: Extraits des oeuvres de Victor Hugo, this illustration showcases Hugo's unique perspective on an apocalyptic future. Victor Marie Hugo, a renowned French poet and novelist of the Romantic movement, is widely regarded as one of France's greatest literary figures. His imaginative prowess shines through in this depiction, where he transforms a symbol of triumph into a somber memorial. The artist behind this evocative engraving is Edouard Riou (1833-1900), whose work beautifully captures the essence of Hugo's vision. Through intricate details and masterful shading techniques, Riou brings to life an arch that stands tall yet crumbling against time. As we gaze upon this print from Prismatic Pictures' private collection, we are transported to 19th-century Paris. The architectural marvel that once represented victory now serves as a poignant reminder of impermanence and decay. This artwork invites us to contemplate not only the physical ruins but also our own mortality. It reminds us that even great monuments can succumb to time's relentless passage.
