Jan Frans Deboever
"L'irremediable - Les Fleurs des Mal"

circa 1921

About the Item

Belgian Symbolist artist Jan Frans DeBoever (1872 - 1948), created symbolist/allegorical paintings throughout his lifetime. He centralized on allegorical and literary subjects, generally depicting the constant struggle of good vs. evil. This is consistently reflected by images of beautiful women interacting with skeletons, gargoyles and demons. "L'irremediable - Les Fleurs des Mal", is one of the rare paintings based on Baudelaire's famous suite of poems, Les Fleur du Mal. The nude maiden swirls across the river styx, having passed into the afterlife, while monsters and gargoyles attempt to reach her, burt she remains smiling and happy, unafraid. This is the original painting, an original oil on panel, signed, executed c.1921, one of the rarest examples discovered by Jan Frans DeBoever. The painting resides within the original artists frame.
