József Rippl-Rónai
Femme Sous la Lampe (Woman Under the Lamp) signed lithograph; József Rippl-Rónai

1894-1895

About the Item

Framed lithograph, signed ("Rónai") and numbered ("no. 50") by the artist. Also includes a silver József Rippl-Rónai coin, made in 1977 for the 50th anniversary of his death. The lithograph Femme Sous la Lampe (Woman Under the Lamp) marked the original print debut of its creator, József Rippl-Rónai, as well as the height of the color print revival in France during the 1890s. Commissioned by La Revue Blanche, a groundbreaking journal based in Paris, the print also indicates the close connection that existed between avant-garde visual artists and their literary counterparts in fin de siècle France. Indeed some of the most experimental visual artists of the Post-Impressionist period, the Nabis, regularly contributed prints to La Revue Blanche, which gathered a dozen of these into a collectors’ portfolio, L’Album de la Revue Blanche, published in late 1894 or early 1895. Rippl-Rónai became the only central European artist to contribute a print to this prestigious project: "Femme Sous la Lampe" was that print. The print first appeared in Issue 34 (August 1894). And was reissued in L’Album de la Revue Blanche, which consisted of eleven loose prints, published in an edition of 50 numbered and signed copies. Writing in 1948, Thadée Nantanson noted that the album had become quite rare. Jozsef Rippl-Ronai was born in Kaposvar, Hungary in 1861. He earned a diploma in pharmacology from the University of Budapest in 1881, but subsequently decided to become an artist. After preliminary training ant the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, he received a grant from the Hungarian National Council for the Fine Arts to study etching in Paris, where he arrived in March, 1887. In September of that year, he received additional funds to learn other printing techniques. Clearly the Hungarian government subsidized Rippl-Ronai as a printmaker as well as a painter, a remarkable prescient decision given the emergence of the peintre-graveur (painter-etcher) in the coming decade. The promising young artists’ international success would enhance the nation’s cultural prestige, and Paris, art capital of the world, was the logical place for him to forge a career.
