NUDE ART (PART 1)

Greek Interior (1848) by the French painter Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904).

It's an early work of Gérôme and it's easy to notice the strong influence of neoclassical painters like Ingres.
Nude at her toilet (1918) by the British painter Arthur Hacker (1858–1919).

Even though the painting isn't called like this the classical decoration pretends a Roman or Greek nude.
Diana with a dog (ca. 1904) by the German painter Ferdinand Wagner (1847 - 1927).

One of the classical subjects since Renaissance and Baroque. But since the end of the 19th century artists just called them "nudes".
An "Oriental Beauty" by serial producer Luis Ricardo Falero (1851-1896).

Maybe the ribbon signifies that she's a present?
The Birth of Venus by the French painter Henry-Louis Picou (1824-1895).

The painting is probably from the 1880s and therefore from the heyday of academic painting. Nevertheless it seems enough like a rococo production to show the tight relations to that era.
Scheherazade (1918) by the Hungarian painter Ferenc Helbing (1870–1958).

Orientalism was va popular method to paint nude women. But this is a wild mix of orientalism, historism and fantasy.
Venetian Lady at Her Toilette (1860) by the French painter Jacques Louis David (1829-1886).

It's a kind of historical scene. But the pose and the rich clothes are a kind of quotation of the great Baroque paintings by Rubens and Titian.
Nymph (1902) by the French academic painter French painter Guillaume Seignac (1870 - 1924).

Why is she looking surprised? Maybe she's watched by a Faun.
A painting called "Water idyll" by the grandmaster of kitsch the Austrian Hans Zatzka (1859-1945).

It's pureimagination and that for one of the sources of modern fantasy-painting.
The French painter Gaston Bussière (1862-1929) was fascinated by exotic dancers. He painted them in historical and oriental costumes. This wasn't very difficult because this was the preferred decoration then.

Exotic Dancer
Here a typical Pompeiian lady by the british painter John William Godward (1861–1922) . Godward was a protégé of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema and earned a lot of money with paintings like this, until he fell out of fashion at the beginning of the 20th century.

The Mirror (1899)
Another odalisque by the Brazilian painterRodolfo Amoedo (1857-1941).

Amoedo studied in Paris and was a pupil of Alexandre Cabane. So it isn't surprising that he painted in a typical European academic style.
