Product Information

The sexual prints in this collection are among the very few such pieces that have been preserved from the 16th century, when a major development in printing technology permitted a wider range of collectors to follow their specialized interests than ever before. Many similar publications, including the infamous I Modi by Marcantonio Raimondi, would have been banned during moralizing purges. The Lascivie, created by famed engraver Agostino Carracci, are less vivid than Raimondi’s paintings and cover a broader variety of biblical and mythical topics, of which these two are instances. pictures were made between 1814 and 1823, when the artist was in his late fifties and sixties, and it is thought that he made some eighteen books in total. This sexually explicit image comes from his third book, While many concupiscent images relocate their sensuality on to the handling of paint, or displace
it into surrogate objects within the picture – foamy seas, cascading hair, writhing putti – this drawing
by Henry Fuseli is firmly anchored within the realm of nineteenth-century erotica. In this pencil and watercolor sketch, three women couple with a prostrate man, his head hidden between the thighs of the woman on the right. The four bodies form a pyramid; the figure at the apex lowers herself on to the erection of their common lover, while the third figure assists by holding his penis. The women’s clearly evident pubic hair and brazen sexual appetites suggest that they are prostitutes. Their elaborate hairdos corroborate that through a link to earlier works in Fuseli’s found illicit interest across Europe and continued to be revived whether in the form of direct copying, as in the set of sixteenth-century woodcuts, or by exerting influence as in the erotic engravings of Agostino Carracci (see below). An eighteenth-century text entitled Pope Clement commanded the destruction of this forbidden issue in Italy. Marcantonio Raimondi was detained for copying and distributing I Modi.

There have been civilizations and eras where explicit sexual allusions were more acceptable by cultural norms, and times when they were not. Yet, the Church’s oppressive perspective of sensuality in the Middle Ages, followed by the suppressed sexuality of the Victorian age, has led many in the Western world to believe that few, if any, people in the past were ready and able to embrace and even delight in their sexuality. Here are a few artworks that made a statement in their time. Carracci was one of three brothers, along with the better famous painter Annibale, who helped to create the 17th century Baroque’s propulsive and intricate painting style. Erotic art is often confused for that which its subject matter is believed to directly imply: sex. While that isn't untrue, there is another reason that erotic photographers choose to work with the nude. The human body is an ideal springboard to the exploration of natural beauty and the novel possibilities opened up by the medium of photography. Schiele was imprisoned and had numerous paintings burned by the government for depicting naked females, which offended modern morals. By the 20th century, photography had become the most popular medium for sexual art. Taschen, for example, mass-produced pornographic graphics and photos. suppressed for centuries by the Catholic Church. Mounted on a sheet are the remains of nine separate engravings printed from copper plates: four show female heads in profile, while three depict the naked upper bodies of women in positions that hint at intercourse.

Fuseli, born Johan Heinrich Füssli, was a Swiss painter who settled in England following an extended sojourn to Italy, where he changed his name from
the more Germanic Johann Heinrich Füssli. Drawn

a wild-eyed mare and a grotesque little demon identified as an incubus. This painting, entitled Throughout the history of western and global art, an interest in the themes of love and erotica has always played a central role. This is evidenced in paintings containing allusions to the erotic, encoded in symbols which recast sexual desires, sometimes coupled with a mystical longing into symbolic languages. Until the invention of photography in the early 19th century, the nude was generally depicted in oil paintings on canvas that drew on religious, mythological, and historical themes.
