Reflecting an era when Europe looked to both the classical past and
a global future, this volume explores the emergence and acceptance
of the nude as an artistic subject. It engages with the numerous
and complex connotations of the human body in more than 250
artworks by the greatest masters of the Renaissance. Paintings,
sculptures, prints, drawings, illuminated manuscripts and book
illustrations reveal private, sometimes shocking, preoccupations as
well as surprising public beliefs - the Age of Humanism from an
entirely new perspective. This book presents works by Albrecht
Durer, Lucas Cranach and Martin Schongauer in the north and
Donatello, Raphael and Giorgione in the south; it also introduces
names that deserve to be known better. A publication this rich in
scholarship could only be produced by a variety of expert scholars;
the sixteen contributors are preeminent in their fields and
wide-ranging in their knowledge and curiosity. The structure of the
volume - essays alternating with shorter texts on individual
artworks - permits studies both broad and granular. From the
religious to the magical and the poetic to the erotic, encompassing
male and female, infancy, youth and old age, The Renaissance Nude
examines in a profound way what it is to be human.
