EDITORS COMMENTS
Félicien Rops' Debine orientale, published in the Belgian periodical Uylenspiegel on February 24, 1861, presents a captivating image of an oriental sultan in a grand setting. The monochrome wood engraving, created by the renowned Belgian artist Félicien Joseph Victor Rops, showcases the sultan in a regal pose, seated on a throne with a crescent moon and stars above. The sultan's turbaned head is adorned with a jeweled tiara, and his flowing robes are intricately detailed with gold lettering and intricate patterns. The background of the image is filled with a star-studded night sky, evoking a sense of wonder and mystery. The solar system's planets are depicted in the upper left corner, adding an element of astronomy to the piece. The overall effect is one of grandeur and otherworldliness, transporting the viewer to a far-off land of exoticism and intrigue. Rops' Debine orientale is a testament to the artistic and cultural sensibilities of the 19th century, reflecting the fascination with the Orient that was prevalent during this time. The image has been preserved in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, where it continues to captivate audiences and inspire curiosity about the rich history and art of the past.
