atan Sowing Tares" (also known as "Satan Semant L'ivraie") is a celebrated work of art by Belgian artist Félicien Rops (1833–1898). Created in 1878, the piece belongs to Rops's exploration of Symbolist themes, a genre that was popular in late 19th-century European art. The artwork effectively demonstrates Rops's skill in etching technique and is testament to his complex vision of morality, religion, and humanity's vices.

The title reflects an interpretation of the parable of the wheat and the tares from the New Testament of the Bible, where an enemy sows the tares, or weeds, among the wheat in a field, aiming to sabotage the crop. Here, Rops personified Satan as the figure sowing the tares, represented by miniature writhing human forms symbolizing temptation and sin.

Rops was heavily influenced by his unique philosophical outlook shaped by anticlericalism, cynicism, and his thirst for independence. This is evident in the provocative representation of Satan in this artwork. He portrays Satan not as a malevolent entity, but as a being performing a necessary task, neutral in moral character, and even melancholic.

"Satan Sowing Tares" has been exhibited in locations worldwide and is often analyzed for its symbolic representation of the human condition, the critique of religious morality, and the use of etching technique reflecting the 19th-century art movements. It remains a noteworthy representation of Symbolist art to this day. The original artwork is part of a private collection.
