Phryne revealed before the Areopagus (1861) - Jean-Léon Gérôme - Canvas Print

Phryne Revealed before the Areopagus is a painting created by Jean-Léon Gérôme in 1861. The artwork depicts a scene from ancient Greek mythology, specifically the story of Phryne, a beautiful courtesan who was accused of impiety and had to stand trial before the Areopagus, a council that served as a court of appeals in Athens. In the painting, Phryne is depicted standing nude before the judges, except for a strategically placed cloak that reveals her body but hides her face. The cloak is meant to symbolize modesty and serve as a testament to her innocence. According to the story, when the judges saw her beauty, they were so moved that they voted to acquit her, ultimately sparing her life. The painting is an excellent example of Gérôme's skill in capturing historical and mythological subjects with great attention to detail and realism. The composition is carefully crafted, creating a powerful visual narrative that captures the drama and tension of the trial scene.
