The artwork, titled “Pêcherie at night,” is a figurative piece created by artist Victor Hugo, known for his contributions to the Symbolism art movement. This piece exudes the ethereal and profound elements typical of Symbolism, inviting deeper contemplation and interpretation.
“Pêcherie at night” depicts a window-like structure, framed by somber and predominantly dark hues. The dominant shades of black and deep purples conjure a nocturnal atmosphere. The intricate details and textures suggest a weathered, almost ghostly scene, resonant of an old fisherman’s hut or pier, contributing to the sense of mystery and introspection. The strokes and markings appear somewhat abstract yet evoke a tangible sense of place and emotion, characteristic of Hugo’s symbolic approach to figurative art.
