Francois Boucher and the rear of Mrs. O Murphy

Francois Boucher was a very prominant Artist of his time (16th Century), and a lot of his time was devoted to painting numerous versions of Mrs. Marie Louise O Murphy's bum. With Boucher being a lover of the classical themes of art, his decorative, idylic and voluptuous paintings would not be out of place above any mantle today. In the 16th century however, his obsession with the behind of Mademoiselle O Murphy was considered far too rude for public viewing, I will go one futher, it was considered to be the most sexually provocative picture of it's era because of the focus on the buttocks. The legs wide open was seen as an invitation to penetrate. Boucher made full use of the contours of, not only the rear but of the pillow and legs as well as the chaise longue itself. I would be very interested if you have any thought on this subject.

  1. would self gratification too not be the case here?? I personally think that with her legs wide open like that, her lying on her tummy, and the coolness of the cloth underneath her.she would stimulate herself by gently (as I think he, Mr Boucher would picture it) gyrating and pushing herself down on the fabric..no need for any penetration here..the coolness of the fabric and the coolness mixed with the heat coming from her bottom all open and whatever draught there is there, justs heightens her sexuality and wanting her to press even harder and move faster..this is absolutely amazing...wish it was me that..
