Gustave Courbet’s infamous “The Origin of the World,” an intimate portrait of a female model’s nether regions, has been shocking pretty much since it was painted in 1866. Even more shocking, though, is the fact that the painting has an upper half, which has been discovered by an amateur collector among yard-sale detritus.<DIV .="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">The canvas, which was bought by the anonymous collector for $1884 from a Parisian antique shop in 2010, pictures the tossed-back head of a woman as seen from a low angle. The model’s jaw and strong cheekbones dominate the portrait, while a mountain of dark hair surrounds her face and cascades into the background. The portrait is painted in Courbet’s signature realist style — the model’s skin is flushed and uneven and her musculature is clearly delineated. She’s individual and unidealized, yet erotically charged.<DIV .="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">They matched up the edges of the portrait with the contours of “The Origin of the World.” After researching Courbet’s work further, they found that the model in the portrait was Joanna Hiffernan, an Irish model and mistress of the artist who appears in many of his other paintings. Hiffernan was also the subject of “The Origin of the World.” (来源: Paris Match
