Description
When Felicien Rops (1833-1898) moved to Paris at the age of 41, he immediately became the best paid illustrator in the city. The publication of his satirical lithographs in Belgian magazines paved the way for his great breakthrough and his frontispice for Baudelaire's Espaves added the final touch to his burgeoning fame. Rops was a brilliant observer who painted atmospheric seascapes and landscapes. However, it was his ironic, caricatured and sometimes risque drawings, lithographs and engravings that were especially popular. Now, a hundred years since the artist's death, his work has lost none of its playfulness or eloquence.
