Painting Description
"Callipyga Mrs Fuseli with her skirts lifted to her waist standing before a dressing table with phalic supports" is a provocative and lesser-known work by Swiss painter Johann Heinrich Füssli, more commonly known as Henry Fuseli, who was active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Fuseli is renowned for his dramatic and imaginative paintings that often drew on mythology, supernatural elements, and classical literature, with a particular penchant for exploring themes of horror, eroticism, and the sublime.
This particular work, as suggested by its title, features a risqué depiction of a woman, identified as Mrs. Fuseli, with her skirts raised, in a pose that accentuates her buttocks (callipygian), a term derived from the Greek words 'kallos' meaning beautiful, and 'pyge' meaning buttocks. The woman is positioned before a dressing table, which notably includes supports that are phallic in nature, adding a layer of sexual innuendo to the piece.
The painting is reflective of Fuseli's interest in the erotic and the exploration of female sexuality, which was a recurring theme in his oeuvre. His work often challenged the moral and artistic boundaries of his time, and this piece is no exception, as it combines elements of voyeurism, fetishism, and the objectification of the female form.
While the painting may not be as widely recognized as Fuseli's most famous work, "The Nightmare," it nonetheless offers insight into the artist's complex and multifaceted approach to subject matter, as well as his ability to infuse classical themes with a contemporary and often controversial sensibility.
Due to the private and potentially controversial nature of the work, detailed information about its creation, provenance, and critical reception may be limited. However, it stands as a testament to Fuseli's bold artistic vision and his willingness to push the boundaries of conventional aesthetics and taste.
