EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "Waiting for the bell he would fling himself upon it" by Louis Edouard Paul Fournier transports us to the enchanting world of Victor Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris. This vibrant print, part of a private collection, beautifully captures a pivotal moment in this timeless tale. Set against the backdrop of a towering belfry, we witness an intense scene unfolding. The protagonist, Quasimodo, known as the hunchback of Notre Dame, eagerly awaits the tolling of the bell with anticipation and devotion. His muscular frame is poised to spring into action at any given moment. The artist skillfully portrays his unwavering dedication and loyalty to his role as bell ringer. Fournier's use of color brings life to this 19th-century French literary masterpiece. The warm hues create a sense of urgency and drama while highlighting Quasimodo's isolation within the grandeur of Notre Dame Cathedral. This lithograph not only pays homage to Hugo's iconic novel but also serves as a testament to Fournier's artistic prowess in capturing both emotion and movement on paper. It invites viewers into a world where fiction intertwines with reality, reminding us that literature has the power to transport us beyond our own imagination. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded once again why Victor Hugo remains one of France's most celebrated writers whose enduring stories continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
