Idol of Perversity | Jean Delville | 1891

Jean Delville’s Idol of Perversity (1891) is a haunting Symbolist illustration that fuses mysticism, sensuality, and menace. The figure of a solemn, almost divine woman emerges in stark monochrome, her body entwined by a serpent and crowned with a radiant, floral halo. Her shadowed eyes and impassive expression evoke both allure and dread, embodying the decadent fin-de-siècle fascination with the femme fatale as a force of temptation, corruption, and hidden power.
