Stendhal University

A hand painted mural for Stendhal lodge, part of Besançon University's campus in France

Renaud's artwork considers the whole of Stendhal's literature, picking character names and adding 'easter eggs' to find within the mural

The composition was created so that names and words could be played with in order to imagine shop fronts, signs and other wall lettering in the midst of a street occupied by a range of characters

The project was part of a major renovation program for the university and the mural was commissioned to honour the 19th-century writer, Marie-Henri Beyle, better known by his pen name 'Stendhal'

Known for the novels Le Rouge et le Noir and The Charterhouse of Parma, Stendhal is highly regarded for the detailed behaviour studies of the characters in his novels
