The cemeteries take what they are given
EDITORS COMMENTS
- a haunting illustration by Alphonse De Neuville captures the somber essence of Victor Hugo's masterpiece, "Les Misérables". This powerful image, created in 1862, depicts a scene from the second part of the novel, focusing on the character of Cosette. In this evocative engraving, we see a desolate cemetery shrouded in darkness. The artist skillfully portrays the eerie atmosphere with his masterful use of black and white. A solitary figure stands amidst rows of tombstones and crosses, surrounded by an air of melancholy. The presence of a coffin serves as a stark reminder of mortality and human frailty. Neuville's attention to detail is impeccable; every line etched into this print conveys emotion and depth. It is as if he has captured not only the physicality but also the very essence of death itself. Through his artistry, he brings to life Hugo's profound exploration of love, suffering, and redemption. This illustration reminds us that cemeteries are impartial observers; they accept all who come their way without judgment or discrimination. They become silent witnesses to our joys and sorrows alike. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork by Stefano Bianchetti today, it serves as a poignant reminder that life is fleeting and that even in death there can be beauty found within its solemn embrace.
