Exploring the complexities of love and power throughout history, these iconic artworks offer intriguing glimpses into the world of harassment, both playful and menacing. From Degas' Harlequin and Colombine (around 1886) to the Rape of Persephone by Pietro and Giovanni Cesare Testa (between c1650 and c1655), the themes of unwanted advances and manipulation are woven into the very fabric of these masterpieces. James Gillray's Cymon and Iphigenia (1796) and A Duet: Turn Fair Clora, turn, ah cruel, turn again (pub. 1792) add a satirical twist, while Cornelis Bisschop's A Young Woman and a Cavalier (early 1660s) and the anonymous St. James Street (18th century, 1925) offer more subtle hints of harassment in everyday life. Even the printworkers in the 1499 (1956) print are not immune, as they are harassed by skeletons. These works serve as a reminder that harassment is not a new phenomenon, but rather a timeless and universal experience that continues to shape our understanding of power dynamics and human relationships.
