About the Item

Héliogravure and drypoint on japan paper. Hand titled in pencil, not signed. Very good condition. Félicien Rops used his art to shock the 19th-century bourgeoisie, tearing down the era's rigid moral hypocrisy. Rather than presenting the nude figure as a clean, idealized classical form, Rops depicted a raw, direct sexuality that forced audiences to confront human desire and vice head-on In works like Puberté, Rops captures a delicate threshold of transition. In 19th-century Symbolism, the concept of developing youth was rarely treated with simple innocence; instead, it was frequently loaded with anxiety about temptation and the awakening of uncontrollable carnal urges.
