EDITORS COMMENTS
Félicien Rops' Les Sonnets du Docteur, created in 1884, is a captivating etching that showcases the artist's mastery of the medium and his unique vision. This intriguing work is a part of the larger series of the same name, which includes a postface. The image features a woman standing in a semi-dress, her bare chest adorned with cherubs and putti, while she dons a corset, hat, and gloves. Her attire is a mix of black and white, with a touch of color added by the red roses in her hand and the apple in the foreground. Rops, a Belgian artist from Flanders, was known for his innovative and often provocative works. This piece, with its amorini and angelic motifs, exemplifies the artist's exploration of the human condition and the complexities of love and desire. The woman's bare chest, a departure from the more conventional Victorian-era depictions of women, adds an element of sensuality and allure. The black and white medium, a common choice for etchings of the time, adds to the historic and literary feel of the piece. The woman's pose and the title of the series suggest that this may be a representation of a sonnet, a form of poetry that explores love and emotion. The image, now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Rops' work and the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
