Félicien Rops

[Belgian Symbolist Engraver, 1833-1898]

• Browse all: Belgian artists / engravers

His object, like that of Moreau, was to portray Evil incarnate in woman -- a portrayal which Rops intended to be satirical, but which, owing to his excessive complaisance with the subject, he could not raise above the level of mere illustration, often pornographic.

- Mario Praz, The Romantic Agony
