''Humanité'' is an etching by Belgian artist Félicien Rops, created in the late 19th century, which reflects the artist's often controversial and provocative style. Rops, born in Namur in 1833 and active until his death in 1898, was known for his graphic works that frequently explored themes of death, eroticism, and the diabolical. His work often critiqued or satirized contemporary society and the human condition, and ''Humanité'' is no exception.

The etching is emblematic of Rops's darkly satirical view of human nature. It depicts a skeleton, a common motif in his art, which is often interpreted as a symbol of death and the ultimate fate of humanity. The skeleton in ''Humanité'' may be seen as a memento mori, a reminder of the inevitability of death, or as a commentary on the moral decay Rops perceived in society. The work's title, ''Humanité'' (Humanity), suggests a broad, encompassing statement about the human race, inviting viewers to reflect on their own mortality and the moral choices they face.

As with many of Rops's etchings, ''Humanité'' is characterized by fine detail and a mastery of the etching medium. His technique involved a combination of etching, drypoint, and aquatint, allowing for a range of textures and depths in his prints. The composition and subject matter of ''Humanité'' are consistent with the Symbolist movement, with which Rops was associated. Symbolists sought to express ideas and emotions through symbolic imagery rather than direct representation, and Rops's work often delved into the symbolic exploration of vice, virtue, and the human psyche.

While ''Humanité'' is not as widely known as some of Rops's other works, such as ''The Temptation of Saint Anthony'' or ''Pornokrates'', it remains an important piece within his oeuvre, exemplifying his artistic preoccupations and his skill as a printmaker. The etching continues to be of interest to scholars of Symbolism and fin-de-siècle art, as well as to collectors of Rops's work.
