| Summary: | If there is one genre of art that seems to have played a greater role than any other, it is the nude. For at least 30,000 years, humans have represented the naked form in a variety of ways. From the ideal to the real, the romantic to the surrealist, there have been almost no end of works devoted to the unclothed human body. This series - presented by writer and broadcaster Tim Marlow - will examine those artworks, the societies that produced them and the artists that made them. In this episode, The nude - The enlightenment, Tim Marlow looks at how the image of a naked bosy was used for a variety of purposes during the period - to shock, to coerce, to titillate, to impress and to instruct. Examples are Rembrandt's 'The Anatomy Lesson', Ingres' 'The Turkish Bath' and Rodin's 'The Age of Bronze'. |
