The Satanic. Calvary 1882

Felicien Rops' 1882 work "The Satanic Calvary" depicts a nude woman standing on a pedestal, with a crucified male figure behind her. The image is a provocative and controversial depiction of a sacred subject. The red background and the candles surrounding the figures create a sense of drama and tension, while the woman's expression and the male figure's grotesque features suggest a sense of suffering and sacrifice. This artwork, created in the style of Symbolism, is considered one of Rops' most famous and important works.
