“The Callipygian Venus or Venus Kallipygos, (Greek: Ἀφροδίτη Καλλίπυγος Aphrodite Kallipygos, “Aphrodite of the Beautiful Buttocks”), is a type of nude female statue of the Hellenistic era. In an example of anasyrma, it depicts a partially-draped woman, raising her light peplos to uncover her hips and buttocks, and looking back and down over her shoulder, perhaps to evaluate them.” (read more)

“Emmanuel Frémiet (December 6, 1824 – 10 September 1910) was a French sculptor. […] In the meanwhile he had exhibited his masterly “Gorilla Carrying off a Woman” which won him a medal of honour at the Salon of 1887. Although praised in its time, this work now evokes ridicule from some observers for its depiction of a gorilla abducting a nude woman, presumably with the intention of raping her - something not totally alien to actual gorilla behaviour, but orangutans, especially, have been recorded attempting to abduct female humans. Accordingly, this act has caught the public’s imagination, as witnessed by the repeated popularity of the King Kong theme.” (Wikipedia)
