Félicien Rops (1833-1898) was a Belgian painter who rejected the traditional teaching of drawing and painting. Leading with his work Symbolism at the decadent fin de siècle and unclassifiable as an artist, his favorite themes were women (Les deux amies), eroticism and social satire (Un enterrement au pays wallon).
