Ugly Art!
For anyone who was bored by my previous post, here is a follow-up of sorts to my posting on the Fountain of Bacchino. This painting is called Le Curieux by Pierre-Antoine Baudoin, and it depicts a woman about to receive an enema from her maid. I dare anyone to find an uglier or more tasteless painting than this. Believe it or not, some toff actually paid oodles of money for this.

is it me or is someone peeking?
That is correct. The person peeking is an Abbot, I believe.
I don't live from day to day with my spirit going up or down about the state of Art. It may be Bad Art, but it's interesting. It may be that all human acts have been painted or otherwise portrayed, but most of my experience of art has the middle class version. I love to see the weirder things. This is one, with it's spy, etc.
That isn't a maid, I wouldn't think, not dressed like that. It's a Lady In Waiting, which would make one wonder what royal or aristocratic sweetie's tush we are viewing? And why is there no beautifully painted bowl in case she loses control and releases a flood right there on the spot? Do bad painters also not really know what an enema feels like and that it sometimes comes out, Whoosh!
This has been a slob's view, I admit.
nothing wrong with the slob's view ;)
it's required for this piece.
An enema! LOL! Well just ain't nuthin sacred, lol.
