Naked Ladies In The History of Art

Postby bill cobbett » Fri Oct 14, 2011 10:07 pm

By way of a Friday night high-brow and very artistic thread, many of you might find this compendium vid intellectually stimulating, packed as it is with the the art world's most famous and iconic images of the naked female form...



Saw two versions of the CY myth of Aphrodite rising from the surf in there, or was it three? ... sod it! .... Gonna have to go and check again.
