About the piece
Painted in 1904 by André Devambez, this work depicts Jean Valjean’s trial at the Arras Court of Assizes. The artist utilizes a single, harsh light source to create deep shadows and intense focal points, perfectly capturing the atmospheric tension and moral weight of the iconic literary scene from Victor Hugo's Les Misérables.
