EDITORS COMMENTS
Environs de Bruxelles" (Surroundings of Brussels), a captivating lithograph by the Belgian artist Félicien Rops, was first published in the Belgian periodical "Uylenspiegel" on April 12, 1857. This evocative image transports us back to the 19th century, specifically to the streets of Brussels, the capital city of Belgium. The scene is set in a bustling urban environment, where the sounds of horse hooves clattering on cobblestones and the barking of dogs fill the air. Two men, dressed in the fashion of the era, are depicted in the foreground. One man, with a sign slung over his shoulder, appears to be making his way through the crowd, while the other, holding a leash, stands still, watching as his two dogs eagerly carry on a lively debate with a passing canine. The image is a testament to the rich heritage and history of Flanders, Belgium, and Europe as a whole during the 1850s. The black and white contrast adds depth and texture to the scene, highlighting the intricate details of the clothing, the architecture, and the animals. The use of lithography, a popular printing technique of the time, adds to the authenticity and historical significance of the work. Today, "Environs de Bruxelles" is part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. Félicien Rops, a master of the Belgian art scene, left a lasting legacy through his works, which continue to shed light on the history and culture of Belgium and Europe during the 19th century. In this image, Rops invites us to take a journey back in time, to explore the streets of Brussels and experience the sights, sounds, and sensations of a bygone era.
