About the piece
Painted in 1903 by Jean-François Raffaëlli, this work captures the vibrant atmosphere of Victor Hugo's 80th birthday celebration in Paris. The composition features the artist's signature loose, textured brushwork and a sophisticated, muted palette of ochre and charcoal, punctuated by the tricolor flags of France. It serves as both a masterful example of French Post-Impressionism and a dignified historical record.
