Paintings of Notre-Dame de Paris

Victor Hugo🎨, in The Hunchback of Notre-Dame:
"A vast symphony in stone, so to speak; the colossal work of one man and one people, all together one and complex, like the Iliads and the Romanceros, whose sister it is; prodigious product of the grouping together of all the forces of an epoch, where, upon each stone, one sees the fancy of the workman disciplined by the genius of the artist start forth in a hundred fashions; a sort of human creation, in a word, powerful and fecund as the divine creation of which it seems to have stolen the double character - ariety, eternity".

Victor Hugo, Notre Dame de Paris:
  • Vasta sinfonia di pietra, per così dire; opera colossale di un uomo e di un popolo, unica e al tempo stesso complessa come l’Iliade e i Romanceros di cui è sorella; prodotto prodigioso del contributo di tutte le energie di un’epoca, ove su ogni pietra si vede impressa in cento modi diversi la fantasia dell’operaio disciplinata dal genio dell’artista; sorta di creazione umana, in poche parole, potente e feconda come la creazione divina a cui sembra aver strappato il suo duplice carattere: la varietà e l’eternità".
