In The History of Sexuality, Michel Foucault argues that the body and its sexuality have been longstanding subjects of contemplation. Foucault posits that the body possesses its own history, discourse, and imaginative representations, notably depicted in libertine literature of the 18th century. These narratives revel in portraying the body as an object of desire, set amidst luxurious attire, comfortable interiors, and intimate boudoirs with mirrors, all encapsulating the discourse of voluptuousness. This
concept extends beyond mere physical display, influencing various artistic forms that hint at or reveal nudity. Painting and music, especially, enhance the portrayal of erotic scenes, emphasizing voyeuristic perspectives and intertwining body and art in libertine literature.
