| Descrição: | Pornocrates, or Woman with a Pig from 1878 is Rops’ best-known work. It shows a nearly-naked woman whose gloves and stockings only serve to eroticise her nakedness, being led by a pig tethered on a lead like a dog. She wears a blindfold, and an exuberant black hat, all suggesting that she is a courtesan or prostitute. In the air are three winged amorini, and below is a frieze containing allegories of sculpture, music, poetry and painting. Various readings have been proposed for this, most of which assume that the pig is a symbol of (male) man, although Rops clearly hasn’t equipped it as a boar. It does have a golden tail, though, which probably signifies luxury and consumption as an evil. The position of the upper part of the painting over the allegories of the arts has also to be taken into account. Amazingly, this painting wasn’t exhibited until 1886, when Rops showed it with the circle of the XX. It caused great offence and scandal, as would surely have been expected - The Eclectic Light Company |
