About the piece
Painted circa 1885, Jean Béraud captures the historic atmosphere of Victor Hugo's funeral procession at the Place de l'Étoile. The composition masterfully depicts the social diversity of the crowd, with figures perched on ladders to witness the event against the architectural backdrop of the Arc de Triomphe. Béraud’s signature style brings a sense of immediacy and vibrant urban life to this significant moment in French history.
