The Enlightenment. The Nude in Art
Description
Tim Marlow looks at how the image of a naked body was used for a variety of purposes during this period - to shock, to coerce, to titillate, to impress and to instruct. Examples include Rembrandt's "The Anatomy Lesson;" "Ingres," "Turkish Bath," and Rodin's "The Age of Bronze".
