EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, created by the renowned Belgian artist Félicien Rops in 1856, depicts the actor Victor Prilleux in a full-length portrait. The image was originally published in the Belgian periodical "Uylenspiegel," issue no. 8, on March 23, 1856. Prilleux, a versatile entertainer, is shown here in the role of an opera singer, standing confidently with one hand on his hip and the other cradling a microphone-like prop, suggesting the amplified sound of the opera stage. His expressive face and animated posture convey the intensity and passion of his performances. Born in Flanders, Belgium, Rops was a leading figure in the European art scene of the 19th century. Known for his satirical and often darkly humorous works, Rops' caricatures and lithographs offer a glimpse into the lives and personalities of the famous actors and entertainers of the time. This particular portrait of Prilleux, with its striking contrasts of light and shadow, showcases Rops' exceptional skill in capturing the essence of his subject. The image is now part of the extensive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to the enduring value of European artistic heritage. The portrait not only serves as a historical record of Prilleux's career but also as a reminder of the rich cultural legacy of Belgian art and the captivating world of 19th-century entertainment.
