Royal Academy of Arts
The Renaissance Nude
Março-Junho

Titian, Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Dürer, and other masters of the Renaissance era.

The 15th and 16th centuries were a pivotal time for the nude in Western art. A renewed interested in ancient Greek and Roman art brought the human body to the forefront of artistic innovation. Artists on both sides of the Alps – Perugino, Pollaiuolo and Gossaert among others – were copying from classical models, experimenting with naturalistic approaches, as well as exploring new, non-religious subject matter.
