EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print "Satan Sowing Tare (Satan semant l ivraie)" by Felicien Rops takes us on a journey into the depths of symbolism and religious imagery. Created in the 19th century, this Belgian masterpiece draws inspiration from the Book of Matthew in Christianity, exploring themes of good versus evil. Felicien Joseph Victor Rops, known for his symbolist art, skillfully combines aquatint and etching techniques to bring this haunting scene to life. Against a backdrop of a full moon illuminating the night sky, we witness Satan himself sowing tares - symbolic weeds representing evil influences - amidst a desolate landscape. The lone figure depicted is none other than Lucifer, embodying darkness and malevolence. With an ominous aura surrounding him, he stands tall as if defying both time and space. This portrait captures his menacing presence with remarkable detail. Rops' artwork not only delves into religious concepts but also touches upon astronomy and science. The lunar cycle serves as a metaphorical representation of the eternal struggle between good and evil within our solar system. As we gaze at this thought-provoking image from the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , we are reminded of the constant threat that evil poses to humanity's spiritual well-being. Through intricate details and masterful execution, Rops invites us to contemplate our own existence within this complex cosmic tapestry while urging us to remain vigilant against temptation lurking in every corner.
