Retour du capitaine Nemo (Le) (Fresco)

Le Retour du capitaine Nemo [The Return of Captain Nemo] is a fresco by Augustin Desombres. 1902 AD, sized 276 x 380 cm,

This delicately toned work, which sees the hero of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea reappear in a dreamlike Amiens, is a strong tribute to Jules Verne, undoubtedly one of the masters of Desombres. Unlike his contemporaries, the painter from Laguiole was never afraid to acknowledge the most diverse influences ¹⁾.

It is unknown if Augustin Desombres predicted the events that are described in the Obscure Cities album Le retour du capitaine Nemo.
