"Sappo" is a renowned painting by the eminent Swedish artist Anders Leonard Zorn (1860–1920), who was celebrated for his portraits and genre scenes as well as his nudes. Created in 1909, this artwork is a testament to Zorn's mastery in capturing the human form and his adept use of light and shadow. The painting depicts a nude female figure, which is a subject that Zorn revisited frequently, showcasing his skill in rendering the texture of skin and the play of light across the body's contours.

The title "Sappo" alludes to the ancient Greek poet Sappho, known for her lyric poetry, often associated with expressions of love and desire. Zorn's choice of title may suggest an evocation of the sensuality and emotional depth characteristic of Sappho's poetry, though the painting itself does not depict the poet or a specific scene from her life or works. Instead, it captures a moment of solitary reflection, with the subject's pose and expression conveying a sense of introspection and perhaps melancholy.

Measuring 148 x 96 cm, "Sappo" is executed in oil on canvas, a medium in which Zorn excelled, demonstrating his virtuosity with the brush and his innovative technique. The artist's use of the "wet-on-wet" technique, where layers of paint are applied before previous layers have dried, contributes to the sense of immediacy and vibrancy in the work. Zorn's palette is typically restrained, with a focus on naturalistic tones that enhance the realism of the figure and the intimacy of the scene.

"Sappo" is part of Zorn's mature period, during which he had achieved international acclaim for his artistry. The painting reflects the influence of Impressionism, with its attention to the effects of light and the artist's interest in capturing a fleeting moment. However, Zorn's style remains distinct, characterized by a boldness of stroke and a clarity of form that sets his work apart from his contemporaries.

Today, "Sappo" is considered one of Anders Zorn's significant contributions to the canon of figurative art. It is held in a private collection, and it continues to be exhibited and studied as an example of Zorn's exceptional ability to convey the subtleties of the human condition through the timeless medium of paint.
