Reclining Nude

Sensuous, voluptuous, provocative-the female form has inspired artists for centuries, making the female nude perhaps the most common subject in the history of painting. Oriented horizontally to effectively highlight the art, Reclining Nudeis a feast for the senses, featuring 120 glorious masterpieces of the genre. Giorgiones catalyst Sleeping Venus, Titians unabashed Venus of Urbino, Manets Olympiagazing at the viewer, and Franois Bouchers flirtatious Brown-Haired Odalisqueare but a few of the artworks to be admired afresh on these pages. Reclining Nudeis a delightful gift and an inspiring study: a collection of art as stunning as the human forms within it.Ferrara, Lidia Guibert is the author of 'Reclining Nude' with ISBN 9780811836654 and ISBN 0811836657.
