The Romantic Agony was formed in Brussels, Belgium, in 1998 by J. Devroe and T. Stubbe. Devroe and Stubbe were both established booksellers, so their auction specializes in books and related works on paper, such as maps, prints, and atlases. They conduct two sales per year, spring and fall, and these tend to be quite large and important sales.
