"The Supreme Vice" (French: "Le Vice Suprême") is a notable work by Belgian artist Félicien Rops, created in the late 19th century, which embodies the decadent and erotic themes that pervade much of his art. Rops was a graphic artist, engraver, illustrator, and painter, known for his controversial and often provocative subject matter that explored the interplay between death, sexuality, and satanic imagery. "The Supreme Vice" is no exception, as it delves into the artist's fascination with the darker aspects of human nature and the occult.

The artwork is emblematic of Rops's style, which is characterized by a combination of fine detail, Symbolist overtones, and a certain macabre elegance. In "The Supreme Vice," Rops often depicts a central female figure, which can be interpreted as a femme fatale, a common motif in his work. This figure typically embodies both allure and moral decay, serving as a critique of the hedonistic tendencies of the society of his time.

Félicien Rops's association with literary figures such as Charles Baudelaire and the Symbolist poets is reflected in his art, which often resonates with the themes of their writings. "The Supreme Vice" is considered a visual counterpart to the literary explorations of vice and excess found in the works of these authors.

The piece is significant in the context of Rops's oeuvre and the broader Symbolist movement, as it captures the essence of a period marked by a fascination with the perverse and the exploration of the boundaries of conventional morality. "The Supreme Vice" continues to be studied and exhibited as an example of Rops's skillful technique and his ability to provoke thought and emotion through his art.

As with many of Rops's works, "The Supreme Vice" is held in high regard by collectors and scholars of Symbolist and Decadent art. It remains an important work for understanding the cultural and artistic currents of fin-de-siècle Europe, as well as the enduring impact of Rops's unique artistic vision.
