Jan Frans De Boever: L’irremediable - Les Fleurs des Mal, c.1921 Mixed Media on Panel

In 1914 De Boever started to illustrate Baudelaire’s “Les Fleurs du mal” for the wealthy art-collector Speltinckx. Up to 1924 he must have made 157 gouaches for those poems, of which 86 have been recovered; this series of gouaches is sometimes considered as his major work.
