It might seem like the sitters and subjects of art history's
greatest nude paintings have little left to show, but don't be
fooled: there is more than meets the eye in these naked
masterworks. Rose-Marie and Rainer Hagen guide us into the secrets
of the flesh, coupling extended discussions with crisp, enlarged
details of 12 iconic works from the canon of art history. Biblical
tales of morality or modern portrayals of leisure, works such as
Tintoretto's Susanna and the Elders or Manet's The Luncheon on the
Grass offer diverse visions of natural beauty. Each artwork is
presented in reproductions of the highest quality, sourced directly
from the original, located in collections of the Louvre, Musee
d'Orsay, Uffizi, and many others. From works depicting ultimate
feminine grace, like Velazquez's Rokeby Venus, to Hans Baldung's
mesmerizing image of the body's decline in The Three Ages of Man
and Death, these paintings are unified in their masterful rendering
of the bare human form-both in life and beyond. Through this
exploration into the covert secrets of nude works, they cease to be
two-dimensional and come to full hot-blooded life.
