[edit]

WIth regret, I removed Pornocrates from the artist infobox. Please restore it if I'm mistaken in thinking that a portrait of the artist usually occupies that spot. Because of the shortness of the article, I then had to place both examples of Rops' work in an image gallery. Cynwolfe (talk) 21:52, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dates wrong

[edit]

Rops met Charles Baudelaire towards the end of the poet's life in 1864… His association with Baudelaire and with the art he represented won his work the admiration of many other writers, including… Alfred de Musset.

De Musset had died in 1857. Rops may have illustrated later editions of De Musset’s works. Valetude (talk) 20:04, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Blue Angel

[edit]

Re my edit of 3/12/18, the director of The Blue Angel (Der Blaue Engel), Josef von Sternberg, mentioned the Rops painting in his memoirs, Fun in a Chinese Laundry, but I don't have the page number to quote. Valetude (talk) 20:04, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
