Synopsis
The erotic art of times past is sometimes the most captivating. ROMANTIQUE offers a veritable banquet of early nineteenth century erotic prints and lithographs, culled from the renowned private collection of rare and beautiful erotica amassed by Hans-Jurgen Dopp.
In both black and white and brilliant color, these lithographs explicitly present the full spectrum of human sexuality. Solos, two-ways, three-ways, four-ways - even the "Noble Orgy" - are joyously reprinted in ROMANTIQUE. But the high artistic quality and aesthetic appeal of these images make them unusual as well as sensual. A mood of delight and humor suffuses these prints. All are showcased in a book of stunningly handsome quality.
ROMANTIQUE is interesting as cultural history as well, as this collection sheds a powerful, important and delirously unabashed light on erotic desire in early nineteenth century bourgeois France. Here are aristocrats and ladies, shepherds and shepherdesses, nuns and lesbians - all romp through these pages satisfying themselves in ballrooms and bedrooms, on riverbanks and in convents, oblivious of conventional morality and the watchful gaze.
11' x 12", 224 pp., over 200 prints and lithographs
