All auctions / Arts & Graphics / Félicien Rops (1833-1898) - Le dessous de cartes d´une partie de whist
Félicien Rops (1833 - 1898) "Le dessous de cartes d´une partie de whist” Etching. One of the 10 etchings by the Belgian Symbolist from the famous series "Les Sataniques" (or "Les Diaboliques"). Printed in the ateliers of Paul Rajon and Alfred Salmon. Published by Alphonse Lemerre in 1886. Perfectly preserved. Size: 18.5 x 13.5 cm. Beautiful antique frame in stuccoed wood and glass: 32 x 20 cm. With minimal faults. Overall, in very good condition. See photographs. Cataloged in: Exsteens, Maurice. L’œuvre gravé et lithographié de Félicien Rops. Paris: Éditions Pellet, 1928, no. 786 . . Fascinating, like all of Rops's work. Rops's work "had, at its core, a spiritual meaning. Satan triumphant in the place of the Crucified One, Satan as a colossal sower, Satan as a super-male with his great serpent-phallus were the avatars of a myth erected against positivist banality, to vindicate the power of the supernatural in a world disenchanted by science and technology. It was the recovery of the sacred through the obscene and cruel, a sort of return to religion through the back door. In this endeavor, Rops appears as a descendant of Romanticism and as a precursor to the dreams and nightmares of 20th-century art." (Guillermo Solana, EL MUNDO, 2002).
