	Felicien Rops
		Rops was born in Namur, Belgium in 1833, and was educated at the University of Brussels.
		ROPS, FELICIEN (1833-1898), Belgian painter, designer and engraver, was born at Namur, in Belgium, on the 7th of July 1833; he spent his childhood in that town, and afterwards in Brussels, where he composed in 1856, for his friends at the university, the Almanach Crocodilien, his first piece of work.
		Rops was a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.

		In fact, despite Péladan's appeals, Rops was not very interested in the Rose+Croix artists, and much more so in the mores of his time, in the singularities of the modern mind as it appeared in the spectacle of Parisian life.
		The poet regarded Rops as the only artist alive in Belgium worthy of that name, and it was in his company that, in 1866, while visiting a church, he suffered a paralyzing attack from which he would never recover.
		Huysmans stated that Rops "celebrated that spiritualism of Luxury that is Satanism, and painted, in pages that cannot be perfected, the supernaturalism of perversity, the otherworld of Evil."

	E-Flux : Mrzyk & Moriceau and Félicien Rops—You Only Live 25 Times - (2006-03-20)
		For their ephemeral wall drawing, Mrzyk and Moriceau integrate a selection of Rops prints taken from the museum’s extensive collection of nine hundred works by the artist, which was generously given by Michael G. Wilson in 1983, and is one of the largest in the United States.
		Rops too used irony in his well-known drawings, which often expressed strong opinions about religion, politics, and culture by using both erotic and satanic imagery.
		Félicien Rops was born in 1833 in Namur, Belgium and died in 1898 in Essonne, France.

		His object, like that of Moreau, was to portray Evil incarnate in woman -- a portrayal which Rops intended to be satirical, but which, owing to his excessive complaisance with the subject, he could not raise above the level of mere illustration, often pornographic.

		Like many of the Decadents, Rops was fascinated by the subconscious, where ideas suppressed by the conscious mind flourished, often in wildly voluptuous ways.
		In that freedom, as it appears in Rops' works, a prostitute on the street, for example, seems alluring to an approaching man, who cannot see what the viewer sees: the woman coyly shielding her face with her fan -- is Death.
		Such dark visions, along with Rops' unique ability to capture women's and girls' beauty and vulnerability, which were simply marketed by merciless people, earned him the Decadents' respect.

	Félicien Rops \| Fin de Siècle - Symbolist Art of the late 19th Century (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Felicien Rops, born in 1833 in Belgium, personified in his day the brilliant bourgeois dandy artist with too much dark talent to spare.
		Rops spent his youth in a number of decadent European cities, but was particularly drawn to Brussels, with its hoards of grinning prostitutes and absinthe drinkers.
		He was also drawn into the order of Rose + Croix, a group of artists who denounced the mundane realism and bright impressionism of their contemporaries in favor of dark mythic subjects such as sphinxes, satyrs, sirens and Salomes.

		Felicien Joseph Victor Rops is one of that body of ninetheenth century artists who have been consigned to semi-obscurity because their work displayed a degree of candid, unbridled and unapologetic eroticism which society has hitherto found unacceptable…
		A Belgian by birth, he was to become the toast of Paris, an artist revered for his ability to see and depict the world of salons and cafes with brilliant directness and honesty.
		A Catholic by birth, Rops was constantly torn by the struggle between his spiritual inheritance and his feverish imagination.
