History of nude art

In the history of art, nudes are one of the oldest and most multifaceted motifs. Early civilizations (Sumer, Egypt, Crete, India, etc.) depicted nudes. Its development can be traced from Ancient Greece (from 1200 BC to 600 AD) sculpture to modern European art.

In the Middle Ages, nudes were only permitted for religious subject matter that demanded depictions of nudity.

It was not until the 20th century that nudes were liberated from their restriction of religious and mythological motivations and were allowed to unfold in multifaceted forms across all forms of art.

Digital Nude Art

The nude in art is not confined to the representation of the human body but enables artists to express inner values such as emotions, feelings, visions, anxieties, and aspirations.

Virtually no other subject than the human body is more capable of communicating and expressing abstract conceptions via art.

Engaging with nude art can be an enduring and inexhaustible source of inspiration.
