EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the year 1877, witnessing Belgian artist Felicien Rops engrossed in his work. The engraving titled "Rops painting his olive pickers" by Maurice Charles Mathieu Bonvoisin captures a moment of artistic creation amidst an idyllic olive grove. With a distinguished moustache adorning his face, Rops stands in the midst of nature's beauty, surrounded by towering trees and lush foliage. His French origins are evident as he wields a palette with finesse, delicately capturing the essence of the scene before him. A parasol shields him from the sun's rays as he meticulously paints each stroke onto canvas. The composition exudes a sense of playfulness and caricature, characteristic of Rops' style. Leaning against one tree is a cartoonish figure representing an olive picker while another holds out freshly plucked olives for inspection. This whimsical touch adds depth to the artwork and showcases Rops' ability to infuse humor into his creations. This enchanting print not only transports us to that serene olive grove but also offers us a glimpse into Rops' creative process during his time in Paris. It serves as a testament to his talent as an artist and invites us to appreciate both the natural world and artistic expression intertwined within this masterpiece from yesteryear.
