The story follows a young man from London high society whose beauty is captured in a painting while he remains unchanged, but the portrait gradually shows the marks of a life of excess and corruption. With elements of psychological horror, the work addresses vanity, decadence, and the double moral standards of its era, in a French edition with notes clarifying outdated terms and imagery.
Originally published in 1890, the novel caused controversy for its allusions to the decadent movement and homosexuality. Considered a modern classic of Western literature.
