Name or post a picture of an old painting depicting something sexually explicit

[Deadman]

I’ve had an idea for a story involving an art gallery painting that’s cursed. The idea is that the owner of the painting is the one who gets cursed.

The painting is supposed to involve a depiction of sex, possibly an orgy. But I’m not an art historian or know much about visual art of this kind. So it would help if anyone could suggest a place to find the art or some details about it.

Thanks. Funny enough the top piece about the Romans in Their Decadence might work. I had the thought that there’d be a woman at the centre of the painting. That would work visually with what I wanted to achieve in the story.

Don’t forget Da Vinci’s work.

I had a plot bunny like that a hidden roman divine painting of shocking decadence and hedonism that goes all the shining on you. Adding you and expanding like a twisted artistic cancer.

Does Davinci do a lot of sexually explicit work? Mona Lisa isn’t that explicit, or the Sistine chapel.
