"Callipyga: Mrs Fuseli With Her Skirts Lifted To Her Waist Standing before A Dressing Table With Phallic Supports" is a provocative and lesser-known work by Swiss painter Johann Heinrich Füssli, more commonly known as Henry Fuseli. This 18th-century artist is renowned for his dramatic and imaginative renderings, often infused with elements of the supernatural and the sublime. While Fuseli's oeuvre includes many works that delve into themes of horror, mythology, and eroticism, "Callipyga" stands out for its intimate and possibly voyeuristic portrayal of a woman, believed to be his wife, Sophia Rawlins.

The title "Callipyga" is derived from the Greek words 'kallos' (beauty) and 'pyge' (buttocks), referring to the celebrated beauty of the female form, particularly the buttocks. In this work, Fuseli captures the figure of Mrs. Fuseli in a private moment, her skirts lifted to reveal her lower back and buttocks as she stands before a dressing table. The inclusion of phallic supports on the table adds a layer of sexual innuendo, suggesting a fusion of eroticism with domestic intimacy.

The painting is a testament to Fuseli's fascination with the human form and his willingness to explore the boundaries of propriety within the context of his time. It also reflects the artist's personal life and his relationship with his wife, who frequently served as a model for his artworks. "Callipyga" is emblematic of Fuseli's ability to blend the erotic with the artistic, creating works that provoke thought and challenge the viewer's sensibilities.

As with many of Fuseli's works, "Callipyga" is characterized by its bold composition, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the emotional intensity that pervades the scene. The painting invites interpretation and discourse on the nature of female beauty, the male gaze, and the intersection of private and public spheres in art.

Due to the private and potentially controversial nature of the subject matter, "Callipyga" may not have been widely exhibited or discussed in Fuseli's time. However, it remains an important piece within his body of work, offering insight into the artist's personal life and the cultural attitudes towards sexuality and the representation of the female body during the late 18th century.
