Louis Léopold Boilly (French, 1761-1845)

Louis Boilly is known for his genre paintings of everyday middle-class Parisian society. He also found a niche as a painter of risqué boudoir paintings; meticulously rendered and finely detailed.

Consequently, Boilly was reported for having painted "obscene works revolting to republican morality." The denunciation was forwarded to Robespierre's Comité de Salut Publique. At the height of the Terror this was a life-threatening accusation, of which Boilly managed to clear himself by painting Triumph of Marat (Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lille), which appeased the revolutionary thought-police.

Could the paintings below be some of the "obscene works revolting to the republican morality"? Over 200 years later and large segments of society still can't get over it!

Deux jeunes femmes sembrassant (Two Young Women Kissing) • c. 1790-1794

The Sorrows of Love • 1790 • The Wallace Collection, London

The Morning Wash, Woman on a Bidet • c. 1790

And here is the painting that literally saved Boilly's neck:

Le triomphe de Marat • 1794 • Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille, France

The details of Marat's story and the how and why of Boilly's painting don't interest me nearly as much as the latter's penchant for producing naughty pictures for an eager public. I would love to time travel to a party at Boily's studio where I'm sure there would be lots of wine and raucous fun! However, if you wish to learn more, here is a link to a very good blog post about The Triumph of Marat.
