About the piece

Created in 1885 by Jean-Paul Sinibaldi, this painting captures the scale of the state funeral for the literary giant Victor Hugo. The neoclassical facade of the Panthéon in Paris is transformed into a sea of colorful floral tributes, providing a vibrant contrast to the dignified stone columns. Sinibaldi's impressionistic touch captures the atmospheric light and the collective energy of the mourning crowd with elegance and poise.
