EDITORS COMMENTS
Les Derniers Flamands," a captivating lithograph by the Belgian artist Félicien Rops, dates back to 1858 and was originally published in the Belgian periodical "Uylenspiegel," issue no. 50, on 10 January of that year. This evocative image, now held in the esteemed collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), transports us back to the 19th century and invites us into an intimate domestic scene. The black and white composition features an elderly couple, both dressed in traditional Flemish attire, seated side by side in a dimly lit interior. The man, with a furrowed brow and a thoughtful expression, gazes intently at the viewer, while the woman, her face framed by a white lace bonnet, looks down at her hands, cradling a pair of small, attentive dogs. The dogs, with their alert ears and curious eyes, mirror the couple's expressions, adding an intriguing layer of depth to the portrait. Rops masterfully captures the essence of aging and the passage of time in this double portrait. The couple's worn clothing, the simple, rustic surroundings, and the presence of the faithful dogs all contribute to a sense of nostalgia and a longing for a bygone era. "Les Derniers Flamands" is not only a beautiful work of art but also a poignant reminder of the rich heritage and history of Flanders, Belgium, and Europe as a whole. This evocative lithograph, with its intricate details and thought-provoking themes, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, making it a cherished addition to the LACMA collection and an enduring testament to Félicien Rops' artistic genius.
