Julie Mélin & Renaud Vigourt
Located in the student housing “Stendhal”, at the Campus de la Bouloie in Besançon, this 5m mural mixing illustrations and lettering was imagined as a tribute to the writer Stendhal.
Rather than creating a classic portrait, the two artists chose to focus on Stendhal’s literary work. They began by learning about the relationship between Stendhal and Besançon, which is essentially found in his novel “Le Rouge et le Noir”.

INTRODUCTORY PREFACE TO THE TRANSLATION
Stendhal's three prefaces to this work on Love are not an encouraging opening.
