Uitnodiging voor de tentoonstelling van kunstenaarskring La Chrysalide 1876

Felicien Rops's *Uitnodiging voor de tentoonstelling van kunstenaarskring La Chrysalide* (1876) is an invitation to the exhibition of the artist group "La Chrysalide" in Brussels. The artwork features a stylized, grotesque, and whimsical design that incorporates insects, figures, and the title of the exhibition. Rops, known for his satirical and often controversial artwork, creates a visual language that blends humor and unease, inviting viewers to explore the world of "La Chrysalide." The intricate details of the graphic, such as the swirling patterns of the insects, the distorted figures, and the bold typography, draw the viewer's attention to the exhibition's message. This invitation is not simply a notification but an artistic statement in its own right, reflecting Rops's distinctive style and his engagement with the artistic and social currents of his time.
