About the piece
Painted by Émile Signol in 1832, this striking work captures the tragic climax of the popular novel 'Paul et Virginie'. The composition expertly balances the luminous, central figure of Virginia with the shadowed, emotional presence of the mourners, all set against a lush tropical landscape and a restless sea.
