EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Les Exercices de dévotion de M. Henri Roch," was created by the renowned Belgian artist Félicien Rops in 1882. The image serves as the frontispiece for a devotional book of the same name, published during the 1880s. The artwork depicts a door adorned with cherubs and putti, their chubby bodies and mischievous expressions adding a playful touch to the otherwise solemn subject matter. The door is flanked by two figures, a man and a woman, both dressed in the attire of the time, suggesting a connection to the aristocracy. The man, identified as Henri Victor de Rochefort Lucay, is depicted with a serious expression, while the woman, identified as the Duchess of Condor, gazes out with a thoughtful, introspective look. The title of the work suggests that this scene represents some kind of spiritual exercise or devotion. The intricate details of the etching, from the delicate folds of the figures' clothing to the intricate patterns on the cherubs' wings, showcase Rops' exceptional artistic skill. This historic piece, with its blend of the sacred and the secular, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Flanders, Belgium, and Europe during the nineteenth century.
