When Félicien Rops (1833-1898) moved to Paris at the age of 41, he was considered to be the best-paid illustrator in the city. The publication of his satirical lithos in Belgium had paved the way to his breakthrough. Rops was an excellent observer and painted attractive sea and landscapes, but especially his ironic, caricatural and sometimes indecent lithos and engravings were and still are very much appreciated by the public. This is proven by the success of the Félicien Rops Museum in Namur. This guide is a perfect introduction to the life and works of Félicien Rops, and is now also available in English.
