EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the world of theater and literature. The image depicts the first representation of Victor Hugo's play "Hernani" by the Romans in 1830. The scene is taken from Louis Reybaud's cartoon titled "Jerome Paturot in search of a social position" published in 1843. The engraving, skillfully executed by Gerard Grandville, showcases a lively crowd gathered at the theatre, eagerly watching the performance unfold. The spectators' faces are filled with intense emotions, ranging from anger to furor, as they engage with the play on stage. This portrayal highlights their deep connection to and immersion in the dramatic arts. The image also alludes to capital sins and human flaws through its clever caricature style. It subtly references seven deadly sins, symbolizing various feelings and emotions experienced by individuals within society. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings this historical artwork back to life, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness an important cultural event that shaped French literature and theater. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to both Victor Hugo's enduring influence on French culture and Gerard Grandville's exceptional talent as an engraver. It stands as a valuable addition to any art collection or exhibition dedicated to celebrating these great artists' contributions.
