Hunchback: Frollo

Another representative of power - the spiritual one. The Church that offers comfort, compassion, kindness, and education. However here we find a man subject to his passions: lust, envy, anger. And his palette, though minimal, reflects all this, both in 1482 and 1942.

Medieval Church Priest

Frollo here maintains the calm neutrality of grey and black, set against the burning red of the embroidery, which reveals the passions and inner conflict he cannot contain. Velvet, lightweigh wool and the embroidery represent his position of power in the medieval society. A position that enables him to manipulate people and get away with the worst of his sins.

1940s priest

Now a deacon in occupied Paris, he remains a man of the Church, cloaked in authority and the sanctity of religion. Outwardly, he projects restraint and devotion - black wool, the simple discipline of the robe. Yet the burgundy silk at his waist betrays a different truth: the passions and desires he cannot extinguish.

Beneath the calm surface, the same inner conflict rages as in 1482.
