Description
One of the most famous paintings by Tassaert now is The Cursed Woman (1859), where we see a female character, probably Aphrodite, who is being pleased by three celestial spirits. Also, it can be an apocryphal version of the fall of Eve or, on the contrary, the depiction of her heaven state, as we don’t see here the sexual act in its’ biblical sense (penetration by Adam). The contrast between the title and the image is quite thought-provocative.
