The Sacrifice of Iphigenia

  • ... that Paul Delvaux's painting The Sacrifice of Iphigenia has been interpreted as a work about the little death? Source: Die Neue Pauly Supplement 5, p. 378 "...die aufgebahrte, möglicherweise tote Frau im Mittelgrund - in Zusammenhang mit frz. >la petite mort<, i.e. Orgasmus - dementsprechend auf die sexuelle Initiation." [...the laid out, possibly dead woman in the middle space - in connection with the French "la petite mort", i.e. orgasm - corresponds to sexual initiation.]

  • New and long enough. Well-written & seems neutral. AGF on hook source in German, as translated. We can't use an image on main page unfortunately. Earwig finds nothing. Johnbod (talk) 03:36, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
