Victor Hugo, best known for his monumental works such as "Les Misérables" and "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame," was not only a literary giant but also a political activist and a key figure in the Romantic movement.

The portrait has been widely reproduced and remains one of the most enduring images of Victor Hugo, often used in publications and exhibitions to represent the author.
