About the piece
Created in 1885 by Georges Clairin, this masterwork captures the profound national mourning following the death of Victor Hugo. The composition juxtaposes the heavy, grounded presence of the catafalque and torch-bearing riders against a shimmering, transcendent spirit rising into the Parisian night sky, exemplifying the Romantic spirit of the era.
