EDITORS COMMENTS
Félicien Rops' Li sotte Marie-Josèphe, created in 1891, is a captivating black and white heliogravure and etching on Japan paper that showcases the Belgian artist's mastery of the graphic arts. This hauntingly beautiful image depicts a woman, identified as Marie-Josèphe, with her head in her hands, seated outside on a wall. The setting is an exterior, possibly in Flanders, Belgium, with the suggestion of a rural or natural environment in the background. The woman's posture and expression convey a deep sense of melancholy and introspection. Her clothing, with its high collar and long sleeves, is typical of the late 19th century. The use of contrasting white and black tones adds to the image's dramatic effect, creating a sense of depth and texture. Rops, a renowned Belgian artist, was known for his provocative and often dark imagery. Li sotte Marie-Josèphe is no exception. The title "sotte" translates to "foolish" or "simple" in English, adding an air of mystery to the subject's identity. The image has been preserved in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate viewers with its haunting beauty and historical significance. This print is a testament to the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and transport us to another time and place. The image invites us to ponder the woman's story and the meaning behind her melancholic expression. Rops' Li sotte Marie-Josèphe is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly the works of Belgian and Flemish artists of the 19th century.
