Sold Leopold Flameng (1831-1911), French print maker and painter was one of the most celebrated print makers of his time. His work includes original themes, portraiture, and etched copies of paintings. He was father of the French academic painter Francois Flameng and was a teacher of another notable print artist whose work we show, Paul-Adolphe Rajon. The etching shown here is after a painting by Benjamin Constant (sometimes Jean Joseph Benjamin Constant, sometimes Benjamin-Constant), 1845 - 1902, French history and later orientalist painter. Benjamin Constant crossed his orientalism with a contemporaneous Symbolist theme here. That of the Femme Fatale. Salome was a frequent subject for this theme, but here the depiction is of her mother, a brooding Herodias.
