Grand Art

Hector Obalk montre que c'est en 1515, à Venise et sous le pinceau de Titien, que la mode est née. Que chez Titien, les personnages y ont une corpulence autrement plus sensuelle que par le passé. Enfin, qu'il a introduit le mouvement dans son art de la composition - un siècle avant Rubens.

Jean-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867) developed, alongside his history painting and portraiture, a body of work that could be called erotic. The works, few in number and little known at the time, are very famous today.

Grandson of Sigmund Freud, Lucian Freud was initially inspired by a 15th century Flemish technique to paint his contemporaries with virtuoso meticulousness before moving towards an almost expressionist figuration.
