About the artwork

Realistic painting in acrylic of the French writer Victor Hugo, painted by the artist Paul Meijering - the original painting is 90 x 90 cm

Victor Marie Hugo (Besançon, 26 February 1802 - Paris, 22 May 1885) was a French writer, poet, essayist and statesman and is considered one of the most important and influential French romantic authors of the 19th century. He wrote novels, poems, plays, essays and political speeches and also left an extensive correspondence.

Victor Hugo was strongly influenced by François René de Chateaubriand. Hugo published his first book of poetry in 1822, and in 1831 Hugo's first major novel, Notre-Dame de Paris (The Bell-ringer of Notre Dame), was published. The work was so successful that it was soon translated into several European languages. It was partly intended to encourage the city of Paris to restore the neglected Notre Dame cathedral. The book also gave rise to a renewed interest in pre-Renaissance buildings, which would actively protect them.

In 1834, the documentary novella Claude Gueux was published, which tells the story of a real-life murderer being executed in France. This short story would later be considered by Hugo as a precursor to his immense work on social inequality, Les Misérables. The first steps towards this novel were probably taken around 1830, but it would take until 1862 for the book to be fully finished and published.
