Publisher's Synopsis
Here is a gallery of fifty beautiful works of art that celebrates the naked human form (forty-nine female nudes and one specific male nude), ready for your enjoyment.
This is my second collection of classic fine art nudes which show both the beauty of the human body and the talent and creativity of great artists of our past.
Some of the names of the painters presented in this book will be familiar to you. But you are sure to be delighted, as well, by the work of those artists whose names are new to you.
Throughout human history, artists have used naked figures of women and men to reflect the times they live in as well as to showcase their own personal style of painting. These artisans take something so well known and so well loved as a nude woman or man and use the inherent beauty of the subject to stretch the concept of art.
