The painting was originally commissioned by Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples and sister of Napoleon, as a gift to her husband. The artwork itself is seen as a departure from Neoclassicism. What’s most important for Ingres is the sensuality of the figure, showing female nudity in art in a new way. At first glance, it seems that he is following the tradition of the reclining nude, like Titian’s Venus of Urbino. Although Titian painted a nude woman in a classical setting, Ingres painted a woman in a lush Orientalist one. The odalisque functions as a French fantasy inspired by North Africa and the Middle East . In ancient times, artists weren’t allowed to paint nudity in art, unless they were depicting mythical figures or supernatural beings. Until the 19th century, it became a rule that the female nudes in painting should have a prototype. The naked human body provided the key link between a set of ideas, beliefs, and values. The artist could, therefore, use the nude form as a pretext to aspire to feminine beauty or reinforce dominant ideologies of modern society.

But why does Pittaluga think it's important for contemporary photography to offer visibility to all body types? ‘I hope that one day this kind of question will no longer exist,’she says. ‘I am focused on giving a voice and visibility to those who are not ortoo littlerepresented. It is very important to me to do everything to deconstruct this hegemony, I am committed to invoking all these fights until they are won.’ The nude fascinates us for a very simple and quite profound reason and that is that it’s art about us. We all have a body; we’re all fascinated bodies and bodies in the unclothed state,” curator Justin Paton tells BBC Culture. “The exhibition is a journey through the many different human feelings and emotional states, and that for me is what is most compelling about the nude as a subject.” Licht, Fred (1979).

English: This video is an example of a man and woman having penile-vaginal intercourse in the standing position, a relatively normal example of sexual intercourse. It begins with the insertion of a man's erect penis into a woman's vagina at 0:07, followed by pelvic thrusts, becoming faster, initially to stimulate the vagina as it continues to lengthen and become lubricated. At around 0:49 the man moves the woman's legs apart from each other to allow for better penetration of the vagina. At this point, the man thrusts with his penis moderately, trying different rhythms while the woman is mostly stationary. Then at 1:27 the man and woman begin to thrust against each other in a steady rhythm. The moans and deep breathing associated with increasing arousal begin at about 1:43. At around 2:13 the woman makes very big thrusts, suggesting she is nearing a climax; after her intense thrusting, she pauses at 2:25, whispering "oui," French for "yes," indicating that she experiences an orgasm. The man and woman then continue to thrust vigorously, and at 2:43 both the man and woman reach an orgasm; the man also begins to ejaculate into the vagina. His penis exhibits noticeable contractions both during his ejaculation, and after he withdraws his penis from the vagina at 2:55, when the contractions cause his penis to bounce (which may be assumed partly voluntary) as his erection subsides. Semen can be seen dripping from the vagina after the penis is withdrawn.

Its increasing prevalence as a phenomenon is neither a simply "good" or "bad" thing, Ingles – and the writers of Sending Nudes – suggest. While the potential for coercion, abuse and shaming are high, sexting can be a fun, consensual way to develop intimacy. During a pandemic, it's also become almost a practical necessity for many – a way of keeping sexual fire alive, over enforced distance. The French painter expresses his style and interest through his revolutionary painting, The Luncheon on the Grass. Like most Impressionist works, this artwork features an everyday scene: two female and two male subjects sharing a picnic in a forest. Throughout the times, female nudity in art was represented in the form of mythological figures or idealized beauties.

Titian’s Venus of Urbino , 1538 Venus of Urbino by Titian, 1538, via Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence All these naked self-portraits were painted within the first decade of the 20th Century – and rather set the tone for the rest of it. Such paintings were possible, writes Borzello in The Naked Nude, because these artists had "no-one to answer to but themselves… These naked portraits follow no tradition. They are new. They make the private public.

For women, as much as for men – perhaps even more so, given they were actively trying to counter hundreds of years of artistic airbrushing of their bodies – naked self-portraits became concerned with conveying uncomfortable truths about what it is to have a body. From Frida Kahlo's symbol-laden portrait of her own miscarriage to Jenny Saville's close-up rolls of flesh and Tracey Emin's scratchy masturbation paintings, the "nude selfie" became truly unfiltered.

These include a wonderfully eccentric 1530 portrait of the admiral Andrea Doria, painted by Agnolo Bronzino as Neptune, complete with trident and naked torso; and a 1670 painting of Nell Gwyn, an actress and also King Charles II's mistress, in which she is posing topless.
