EROTIC PAINTINGS AND ART

A Harem Dancer by the French artist Georges Jules Victor Clairin (1843-1919).

An Odalisque French painter Jules Joseph Lefebvre (1836-1911).

An Egyptian Princess (1875) by the Austrian painter Hans Makart (1840-1884).

A Harem Beauty by the Italian art deco painter Mario Borgoni (1869-1950). One of the better orientalistic ones.

One more sweet little girl by the French artist Guillaume Seignac (1870-1924). Most are variations of the same subject.

Ceres Bacchus and Venus (c. 1613). A great painting by the Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640).

Lindsay is one of my 20th century favourites.
Andromeda and the Nereids (1840) by the French painter Théodore Chassériau,(1819-1856).

Chassériau was a Student of Ingres whose classical influence is here evident.
Slave market (1866) by the French painter Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904).

Despite all "realism" I'm sure that Gérôme never had seen a scene like this. The examination of the teeth is a nice detail but pure fantasy. A buyer of young women wouldn't have been very interested in her teeth.
The Pearls of Aphrodite by the british Victorian era painter Herbert James Draper (1863 – 1920).

Draper was specialized in mythological scenes and mermaids, so here he combined both.
The Nereids (1902) by the French painter Gaston Bussière (1862-1929).

Once more Bussière shows some of his beloved exotic dancers. So it's more a Paris night club scene and nothing mytholocical
Biblis (1884) by the French academic painter William Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905).

Biblis fell in love with her twin brother Caunus, who fled from her. She followed him throughout Asia Minor until she died from exhaustion and grief.
Here can be seen a very sad girl, but she didn't look exhausted at all.
