About the piece

Eugène Grasset’s 1903 masterpiece 'Eviradnus' captures a pivotal moment of medieval chivalry and conflict inspired by the poetry of Victor Hugo. The work is renowned for its theatrical chiaroscuro and complex arrangement of figures, set against a backdrop of spectral armored knights that add a layer of gothic mystery to the composition.
