EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from the theatrical representation of "The King has fun" by Victor Hugo. Set in Act I, scene 5, the image depicts a room at the Louvre where M. de Saint Vallier stands before King Francois I and the jester Triboulet. The intensity of their expressions and body language suggests a pivotal moment in the play. The engraving, created by Frederic de Haenen for "The Illustrous World" publication in November 1882, beautifully brings to life this dramatic scene. The attention to detail is remarkable, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Paris' Comedie Francaise during that time. Victor Hugo's play explores themes of power dynamics and human nature through its complex characters and intricate plotlines. This particular scene seems to be filled with tension as M. de Saint Vallier confronts both his king and Triboulet, perhaps hinting at an impending conflict or revelation. Overall, this print serves as a visual testament to Victor Hugo's enduring influence on French theater and literature. It invites us into a world where emotions run high and secrets are unveiled under the watchful eyes of historical figures like King Francois I. A true treasure for any art enthusiast or admirer of classic plays!
