About the Item

Claribella is an original modern rare book illustrated by Fernand Edmond Jean Marie Khnopff (12 September 1858 – 12 November 1921) in 1893. Original First Edition. Published by Beijers, Utrecht. Format: In 8°. The book includes 224 pages. Inscribed by the author on the front page, lithographic full page frontispiece by F.K. signed on the plate. Mint conditions. Fernand Edmond Jean Marie Khnopff (12 September 1858 – 12 November 1921). In 1881, he presented his works to the public for the first time at the "Salon de l'Essor" in Brussels. The critics' appraisal of his work is very harsh, with the exception of Emile Verhaeren who wrote a commending review. Verhaeren would remain a lifelong supporter and would write the first monograph on the painter. In 1883, Khnopff was one of the founding members of the group Le Groupe des XX. Khnopff exhibited regularly at the annual "Salon" organised by Les XX. In 1885, he met the French writer Joséphin Péladan the future grandmaster of the Rosicrucian "Ordre de la Rose + Croix". Khnopff laid his first contacts with England, where he would stay and exhibit regularly in the future. British artists such as Hunt, Watts, Rossetti, Brown and Burne-Jones would become friends.
