"La Mort au Bal" (Death at the Ball) is a notable work by the Belgian artist Félicien Rops (1833–1898), who was renowned for his etchings, lithographs, and paintings that often explored themes of death, eroticism, and the satirical. This particular piece is emblematic of Rops's fascination with the macabre and his tendency to juxtapose the allure of sensuality with the inevitability of death.

Created in the late 19th century, "La Mort au Bal" is a striking example of Symbolist art, a movement that sought to represent ideas and emotions through symbolic imagery rather than realistic depiction. The work portrays a skeletal figure, representing death, at a ball—a setting typically associated with life, vitality, and enjoyment. This juxtaposition serves as a memento mori, a reminder of the transient nature of life and the omnipresence of death, even amidst the height of pleasure and celebration.

Rops's technique in "La Mort au Bal" is characterized by a fine attention to detail and a masterful use of contrast, which enhances the eerie and unsettling quality of the image. The work is often noted for its intricate line work and the way it conveys texture, from the delicate fabrics of the ballgoers' attire to the stark, bony form of death itself.

As with many of Rops's pieces, "La Mort au Bal" reflects the artist's interest in the darker aspects of human existence and his ability to provoke contemplation on the part of the viewer. The piece continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its rich thematic content, contributing to Rops's enduring legacy in the world of fine art.

Félicien Rops's work is held in high regard by art historians and collectors, and "La Mort au Bal" is a significant example of his contribution to the Symbolist movement and 19th-century art. The piece can be seen as a precursor to the decadent and macabre imagery that would become more prevalent in the art of the early 20th century, influencing artists who were similarly intrigued by the interplay of death and beauty.
