About the piece
Painted in 1903 by Louis Édouard Fournier, this oil on canvas captures the tragic finale of Victor Hugo’s celebrated play 'Hernani.' Set against the elegant Moorish architecture of the Alhambra, the figures are locked in a moment of intense theatrical drama under a luminous night sky, rendered with the refined technique characteristic of late 19th-century academic painting.
