EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Les Bourgeois," was created by the renowned Belgian artist Félicien Rops in 1856 for the periodical Uylenspiegel, no. 18, published on 1 June of that year. The image depicts a double portrait of two men, standing in the outdoors, dressed in the attire of the middle class of the time. The setting is likely in Flanders, Belgium, as Rops was known for his Flemish heritage and the influence of his surroundings on his work. The men are shown in full length, with one man on the left in a dark suit and top hat, while the other, on the right, wears a lighter suit and a bowler hat. Both men are walking in opposite directions, creating a sense of tension and intrigue. The use of black and white adds to the historic and timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to the 19th century and the social class dynamics of the 1850s. The title "Les Bourgeois" refers to the middle class, and this work is a commentary on the bourgeoisie and their lifestyle. Rops masterfully captures the essence of the era, from the clothing and accessories to the setting and the body language of the subjects. The image is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its historical and artistic significance. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, social class, and the 19th century.
