Callipyga - A Provocative Allegory of Beauty and Desire
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing print captures the essence of neoclassical art, showcasing Johann Heinrich Füssli's masterpiece, "Callipyga". The image depicts a lady with raised skirts standing confidently in front of an ornate dressing table adorned with phallic supports. With meticulous pen and ink strokes on paper, Füssli skillfully combines mythology, eroticism, and allegory to create a thought-provoking piece. The focal point lies in the lady's callipygian figure - her voluptuous buttocks symbolizing beauty and sensuality. This audacious representation challenges societal norms by celebrating the female form as both powerful and alluring. The juxtaposition of the phallic supports further intensifies this exploration of desire and sexuality. Füssli's graphic arts expertise shines through as he seamlessly blends fine art imagery with genre scenes. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the delicate folds of fabric and intricate details of the dressing table. Through his mastery, he transports viewers into a world where mythological elements intertwine with everyday life. Housed within a private collection in Switzerland, this rare pencil-on-paper artwork showcases Füssli's artistic prowess while igniting conversations about classical aesthetics, gender dynamics, and human desires. As we gaze upon "Callipyga" we are compelled to reflect on our own perceptions of beauty and contemplate how art can challenge societal conventions throughout history.
