The painting is a self-portrait and was created in 1888. Paul Gauguin's face is tormented because the artist has pledged himself in the role of Jean Valjean, the protagonist in Victor Hugo's novel "Les Miserables". Gauguin compares this fictional character - a man rejected by society despite his inner strength and love - with the misunderstood artists of his time, including himself.
The reproduction "Les Miserables" is a high quality print that is wrapped on a solid back to the size of 30x40, above which the canvas is stretched on a subframe. Arranged with an appropriate frame, reproduction can be the perfect gift for a close person or complement to your home.
