EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Cain, No. 21 The Conscience" by Victor Hugo, a renowned French writer and artist. Created in 1859 but completed in 1880, this oil on canvas masterpiece was painted by Fernand Cormon and is now housed in the Musee d Orsay in Paris. The painting depicts Cain, infamous for killing his brother Abel, as he grapples with the weight of his guilt and punishment. With tired eyes and a ragged appearance, Cain represents the archetypal fugitive seeking redemption from his past transgressions. This portrayal captures the essence of human struggle against one's conscience. Hugo's work delves into themes of family dynamics, migration, weariness, and sleepiness. Through this monumental piece measuring 380x700 cm, viewers are transported to an ancient era where moral dilemmas plagued humanity. The image evokes a sense of empathy towards Cain's plight as he navigates through life burdened by remorse. It serves as a poignant reminder that even our darkest actions have consequences that can haunt us forever. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork captured beautifully in this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the timeless nature of art and its ability to provoke introspection about our own choices and their repercussions.
