EDITORS COMMENTS
In this pen and ink wash print, we are transported back to 1866 and presented with the mesmerizing Casquets Lighthouse. Created by the renowned French author Victor Hugo, known for his literary masterpieces such as Les Misérables, this artwork showcases his lesser-known talent in visual arts. The Casquets Lighthouse stands tall against a darkened coastal backdrop, its powerful beam cutting through the misty night sky. The artist's skillful use of ink wash creates an atmospheric effect, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue. As our eyes wander across the paper, we can almost hear the crashing waves against the rocky shore. Hugo's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen; each line contributes to the overall composition with precision and purpose. The lighthouse itself becomes a character in this scene - a guiding light for ships navigating treacherous waters. This nocturne drawing transports us into a world where time seems suspended, inviting contemplation and reflection. It reminds us of nature's power over man-made structures and how they coexist harmoniously along the coastlines. Preserved within Maison de Victor Hugo in Paris, France, this artwork serves as a testament to Hugo's multifaceted talent beyond writing alone. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today just as it did when it was first created over 150 years ago.
