About the piece
Painted around 1905, Paul-Albert Besnard captures the electric atmosphere of the 1830 premiere of Victor Hugo's 'Hernani'. The work features a dense crowd in the pit and balconies, illuminated by the warm, flickering light of a monumental chandelier, evoking the passion and controversy of the Romantic era.
