EROTIC PAINTINGS AND ART (PART 1)

Evening Mood (1882) one of the typical allegories by the French academic painter Adolphe William Bouguereau (1825-1905).

Another odalisque by the Brazilian painter Oscar Pereira da Silva (1867-1939). It’s easy to see that many artists from Latin America studied in Europe and received their the typical academic training.

Odalisque (1857) by the French painter Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863). Delacroix is regarded as the leader of the French Romantic school and had a big influence on the later Impressionists. He painted various odalisques which emphasizes his interest in exotic and oriental subjects.

Venus Consoling Amor (1751) by the French Rococo painter François Boucher (1703-1770). Boucher is famous for his decorative allegories but usually his enormous influence on late 19th century art is vastly ignored.

Cleopatra Testing Poisons on Condemned Prisoners (1887) by the French academic painter Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889).

Cleopatra is depicted as a beautiful but also a cold and cruel monarch. Without any emotions she’s watching the terrible death of the prisoners. The temples in the back are showing the strong influence of the famous prints of David Roberts.

Wine of Tokai

The beautiful and seductive spirit of wine shows here the Spanish painter Luis Ricardo Falero (1851-1896).

Nice bathing scene by the Victorian artist John Reinhard Weguelin (1849-1927). Weguelin did similar neo-classical subjects like Edward Poynter and Lawrence Alma-Tadema in watercolour.

A pin-up of 1952 by the British illustrator David Wright (1912-1967). Wright was probably the only Non-American pin up artist who was really successful in the United States. And he deserved it as far as I can see.

Some Angels, Nymphs or Goddesses by the Austrian painter Hans Zatzka (1859-1945). One of the typical Neo-Rococo sceneries which made Zatzka so successful.

Bathsheba (1820-25) by the German painter Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (1794- 1872). Even though Schnorr is assigned to the Romantic the painting shows a strong neoclassical influence.

Silver (1886) by the English classical painter Albert Joseph Moore (1841–1893). Moore was specialized in beautiful young women in a classical backdrop.

Susannah at Her Bath; (1874) by the French academic painter Hugues Merle (1823-1881). Merle was a friend and rival to William Bouguereau. Here he presented a nude as the classical biblical subject.

Reclining Nude by the French academic painter Delphin Enjolras (1857–1945). Enjolras is best known for his intimate portraits of young women illuminated by lamp or firelight.
