EDITORS COMMENTS
La Comédie Politique," a captivating lithograph by the renowned Belgian artist Félicien Rops, was first published in the satirical periodical "Uylenspiegel" on May 22, 1859. This intriguing artwork, now held in the prestigious Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a vivid commentary on the political landscape of the 19th century. Rops masterfully employs a parody of a hunting scene to critique the political figures of his time. In the center, a hunter, dressed in the finest attire, proudly displays a hare and a game bird, symbolizing the capture of political power. Surrounding him are various animals, representing different political figures and their allegiances. A hare, symbolizing Belgium, is being pursued by a pack of rabbits, representing the different factions vying for control. A bird, symbolizing France, is being shot at by a hunter, representing the ongoing tensions between the two countries. The title "La Comédie Politique" alludes to the idea that politics is a game, with its own set of rules and players. Rops uses this concept to satirically comment on the political instability and turmoil of the time, highlighting the themes of freedom of the press, justice, and warfare. The black and white medium adds to the stark and raw portrayal of the political landscape, making it a powerful and enduring piece of historical art. Félicien Rops, a native of Flanders, Belgium, was known for his provocative and satirical works. "La Comédie Politique" is a prime example of his ability to use art as a tool for social commentary, leaving a lasting impact on the world of art and politics alike.
