"Volpone Adoring his Treasures" is a notable illustration by the English artist Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872–1898), created in 1898. This work is part of Beardsley's illustrious yet brief career, during which he became one of the most controversial artists of the Art Nouveau movement. The illustration was specifically designed for Ben Jonson's classic play "Volpone," a satire about greed and lust, which was first performed in 1606. Beardsley's interpretation for the play's publication in the 1890s captures the essence of the titular character, Volpone, a Venetian nobleman who deceives others into believing he is on his deathbed to acquire their wealth.

Beardsley's "Volpone Adoring his Treasures" is emblematic of his distinctive style, characterized by stark black-and-white imagery, intricate patterns, and themes that often explored the decadent and the erotic. This particular piece showcases Volpone surrounded by his amassed wealth, emphasizing the play's themes of greed and moral corruption. Beardsley's use of line and contrast not only highlights the opulence of Volpone's treasures but also the emptiness of his pursuits.

The illustration was part of Beardsley's work for the Leonard Smithers edition of "Volpone," which was among the last projects he undertook before his death at the age of 25. Despite his short life, Beardsley's work left a lasting impact on the visual arts, influencing the Art Nouveau movement and beyond. "Volpone Adoring his Treasures" stands as a testament to Beardsley's artistic genius and his ability to convey complex themes through visually striking imagery. This work remains an important piece within Beardsley's oeuvre, reflecting his unique aesthetic and the cultural preoccupations of the fin-de-siècle period.
