良知-弗朗索瓦·尼古拉斯·奇夫哈特

-Francois-Nicolas Chifflart (1825-1901) was a 法国艺术家 painter, illustrator and etcher.

The famous Cain poem, written in 1853 and appearing in the 1859 first edition of La Légende des siècles, is an apt rendering of Victor Hugo\'s moral preoccupations, in this case, the first recordered Biblical murder, when Cain killed his brother Abel. Hugo\'s short narrative (sixty-eight lines) traces the itinerary of the fleeing Cain who, with his family, seeks asylum from the powerful wrath of Jehovah. The motif of a long voyage, filled with suffering, already exploited by Hugo in the Mazzepa poem of Les Orientales (1829) is here reiterated as a frightening exodus, as Cain, his family, and his descendants seek calm and peace. But for Cain there is none, for he is pursued by the Eye of God.
