"Fryne przed Areopagiem" (Phryne before the Areopagus) is a renowned painting by Włodzimierz Tetmajer, a Polish artist associated with the Young Poland movement. Created in 1897, the artwork is a representation of the famous trial of Phryne, an ancient Greek courtesan who was brought before the Areopagus, the highest court in Athens, on charges of impiety. According to the legend, Phryne's defender, the orator Hypereides, in a dramatic turn during the trial, revealed her naked body to the jurors to evoke their pity and to emphasize her beauty, which he argued was a divine gift that should not be condemned.

Tetmajer's painting captures this climactic moment, portraying Phryne as she stands exposed before the judges, her body partially draped with flowing fabrics. The artist's depiction is rich in symbolism and emotion, reflecting the themes of beauty, justice, and the power of rhetoric. The composition of the painting, the use of light and shadow, and the expressive faces of the figures contribute to the dramatic effect of the scene.

Włodzimierz Tetmajer (1861-1923) was a prominent figure in Polish art at the turn of the 20th century, known for his contributions to the Polish Art Nouveau movement and for his role in the revival of national culture. His works often explored historical and mythological themes, and "Fryne przed Areopagiem" stands as one of his most significant and recognized pieces.

The painting is not only a testament to Tetmajer's artistic skill but also reflects the broader cultural and intellectual currents of the time, including an interest in classical antiquity and the exploration of themes related to human nature and societal norms. "Fryne przed Areopagiem" remains an important work in the canon of Polish art and continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and aesthetic qualities.
