It’s an amazing sculpture. As I read the article I couldn’t help but think isn’t France the same country that didn’t have a problem with a teenage Macron having an affair with his teacher yet this sculpture was shocking to them? I guess the French sensibilities have come a long way haven’t they.
Stunningly, sensuously beautiful. To translate the vibrancy of living flesh into stone shows the absolute mastery of his art.
Needs to have a pressure sensitive mat around it, which plays Frank Zappa's Dirty Love ❤ on contact
Bizet’s Carmen was equally considered scandalous and outrageous.
Ooh la la! I think it's hot. No wonder English Victorian people thought those Frenchies were a bit TOO MUCH. I bet he was friends with Emile Zola.
Beautiful ! Sensual, Mastery.
At first glance I thought it was some incredible funghi
Stunning.
Actually does not not look like rape
The position of her hands. One pulling toward, one pushing away. Creates sexual tension.
Yes but sexual tension is not rape and her facial expression reads rapturous lol
Yeah, no, depictions of rape set in stone would probably be less tolerated today. For good reason.

Glorious
Beautiful
But we took that Masonic Statue of Liberty from the French. And it has been down hill ever since.
Wow yes pretty wild! Those Frenchies!!! 😂
Not nuts about the satyr seducing her. Would be fine if he had made it a man with no horns
That’s what I think was so scandalous
The degree of hypocrisy from the Salon officials in France in the 1800s was staggering, a reflection of their sick minds.
That is how Degas' statue of a young dancer wearing clothes got critics howling insults like "vicious, ugly beast".
