Le Calvaire (Calvary), from Les Sataniques (The Satanic Ones)
Not on view
The femme fatale (literally translated from the French as "deadly woman") is a recurring subject in Symbolist art and a particular favorite of Félicien Rops. He frequently associated the femme fatale with satanic worship and did not flinch in his depictions of her disturbing rites and rituals.
