There is a foot warmer in the lower right corner of The Maid, and a small Cupid is painted on the tile on the wall behind the foot warmer. Foot warmers and Cupid had obvious sexual implications at that time. However, the female worker completely ignored the foot warmer that could make her comfortable, but devoted herself to making bread pudding with stale bread and milk, so this painting actually depicts the domestic virtue advocated by the Netherlands in the 17th century.

Boucher, Triumph of Venus, 174
This is an erotic work by Rococo master Boushall. In the lower left corner of the painting, there is a woman masturbating ... At that time, she was in Rococo Art. When the professor talked about this painting, her wording was "Oh, she is well pleased with herself" ... In another class, the professor also talked about this painting. She was older, and she was very embarrassed when she talked about it. She said, "Look! What she is doing!" Then I jumped to the next slide in a hurry.

William Blake, Newton, 1795
Blake is an English poet and painter. He loves nature and pursues all spiritual and sacred beautiful things. He is loyal to his inner feelings. Therefore, he hated Newton very much, a person who used physics, mathematics and various sciences to understand the world and measure the world. Even more hateful, Newton also formulated a set of theories on color (light color principle? ), and for Blake, light is very sacred, full of infinite spirituality and infinite possibilities, and can't be desecrated by reason or science, so Blake drew a picture to satirize Newton.
Courbayre
This painting depicts Newton, who was hated by Blake. He sat in the deepest part of the dark sea floor, absorbed in measuring his geometry and studying his mathematics. The muscles on his back, like tortoise shells and armor, deeply wrap him in his own world and isolate him from the sacred world outside. He turned a blind eye to everything in the underwater world, such as strange rocks, vegetation, microorganisms and so on. He is a cold man, who only focuses on cold theories and completely ignores any sacred and transcendental existence around him.
(well, I hate Newton hhhhhh, who failed physics and had a hard time with math)
