EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Demon of Covettery: a monstrous reflection of a woman looking at herself in a mirror" we are transported into the intriguing world of Felicien Rops. The image, captured by Rudolf Klein, showcases the artist's ability to create thought-provoking and symbolic works. At first glance, we see a young woman dressed in an elaborate costume, her eyes fixed upon her own reflection in the mirror. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that there is something sinister about this scene. The woman's reflection morphs into a grotesque demon-like figure with sharp claws and horns. This artwork serves as an allegory for the destructive nature of vanity and covetousness. It reminds us that excessive desire for beauty and material possessions can lead to monstrous consequences. Rops skillfully portrays how our obsession with appearance can distort our perception of reality. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, enhancing the eerie atmosphere surrounding the central figure. The intricate details in both the woman's costume and demonic transformation showcase Rops' meticulous craftsmanship. "The Demon of Covettery" invites viewers to reflect on their own desires and question whether they have fallen prey to similar temptations. This piece serves as a powerful reminder that true beauty lies not in external appearances but within oneself.
