In-depth examination of the work of Rops, a 19th-century artist whose darkly erotic and macabre imagery influenced the Symbolist and Decadent movements. Rops was renowned for his provocative and erotic imagery, often intertwining themes of death, satanism, and the femme fatale archetype. Admired by Baudelaire, his work challenged societal norms and religious conventions, positioning him as a controversial yet influential figure in art history. This catalogue accompanied a 1976-77 touring exhibition which played a significant role in introducing Rops' work to a broader audience.
