Features: Anyone who discovers Hugo's paintings will think that this great man is indeed a genius in all fields. These works are powerful and vigorous, truly making them unsuitable as mere pastime. Among them, there is an aspect of his genius that is closely related to the core of his creations. Hugo's contemporary Théophile Gautier, a true poet himself, was also a painter before dedicating himself to literature, and he introduced Hugo's works with the discernment of an expert: "In these heavy and rough fantasy works, he skillfully blends Goya's chiaroscuro effects with Piranesi's terrifying architecture."
