Famous Erotic Art in the Renaissance and Baroque Eras

Marcantonio Raimondi's I Modi

In 1524, Italian engraver Marcantonio Raimondi created a series of explicit erotic engravings called "I Modi" (The Positions). It was considered an early attempt at pornography, and the artists involved in the project faced numerous legal issues due to its explicit nature. The original prints were mostly destroyed or lost, but a few impressions and later reproductions of the designs survive.

Peter Paul Rubens' The Three Graces

Painted by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens around 1635, "The Three Graces" is an exquisite portrayal of voluptuous feminine beauty. The painting depicts three goddesses, each representing beauty, charm, and grace, wrapped in a tender embrace.

Egon Schiele's Erotic Portraits

Egon Schiele, an Austrian Expressionist painter living in the early 20th century, created highly erotic portraits of women. His work often focused on the raw sexuality and desire of his subjects, as well as his own sexual obsessions.

One example of Schiele's famous erotic art is "Reclining Woman With Green Stockings" (1917), which depicts a woman lying nude on her back with an expression of ecstasy on her face. Her pose is sexually suggestive, with one leg raised and the focus of the work explicitly placed on the woman's genitals. Despite the controversy surrounding his work, Schiele remains an essential figure in the world of erotic art.
