Ensor was not just a painter, but also a prolific draughtsman and printmaker. He first turned to printmaking in 1886, and over the course of his career produced some 133 prints, the majority of them etchings. These are marked by agitated lines and arguably even greater exaggeration and visual invention than is found in his paintings.
Over time, Ensor’s work became increasingly political and satirical. In piece after piece he skewered one group of Brussels society after another, from the government, doctors and judges, to the Catholic Church and the art establishment — and ultimately, the Belgian bourgeoisie as a whole.
