Jacques-Louis David - Sappho and Phao (1809)


The master painter in the line, color, static nature. His works are perfection from all points of view. Motionless, they become eternity.
In the alcove the two lovers are preparing for their moment of ecstasy. She abandons herself, with the clothes that already fall soft, freeing her body.
Cupid, accomplice, distracts her from her passion for poetry.
A harmony that cannot leave us indifferent.
