For centuries, artists have been fascinated by the beauty of women. From the beginning of human history, men tried to portrait their mistresses or wives. Let’s see a few examples which became truly immortal!
There is nothing as beautiful as a body of lovely female. And it’s quite hard to capture the beauty. Even if you have a professional camera, you need to work a lot. It takes some time to create a great portrait. And now try to imagine there were no cameras. All the old artists could use was a piece of canvas, several brushes and some paints.
Despite all this, the old masters were able to paint the nude models with such attention to detail that even today their paintings look almost life-like. Artists like Tizian, Courbet, Duval, Girgione, Klimt, Cranach or Botticelli became legendary. No matter if they lived in the 15th century or in the 20th one. Their work is still admirable.
It wasn’t easy to choose the best paintings – but we tried. And we do hope that you’ll like this trip to the past as well as we did!
