Description
English: Sappho was an ancient Greek poet from the island of Lesbos, known amongst other things for her love poems dedicated to other women—hence the expression “lesbian love.” Naked figures are abundant in Neoclassical art, depicted with an emphasis on the contours of the body and the profile of the face that often has an erotic undertone. Sappho resembles pictures by Anne-Louis Girodet, and when Nationalmuseum bought the painting in 1919, experts believed Girodet was the artist. Now it is thought a lesser-known painter is the artist, possibly a foreigner educated in Paris around 1800.
Svenska: Sapfo var en antik grekisk poet från ön Lesbos, känd bland annat för sina kärleksdikter riktade till andra kvinnor – därav uttrycket lesbisk kärlek. Nakna gestalter (av bägge könen), framställda med betoning av kroppens kontur och ansiktets profil förekom rikligt i nyklassicismens konst, ofta som här med en erotisk underton. Sapfo liknar sådana bilder utförda av Anne-Louis Girodet, och när Nationalmuseum köpte målningen 1919 trodde experterna att Girodet var konstnären. Nu gissar man på en mindre känd målare, kanske en utlänning utbildad i Paris omkring 1800.
