“Nudes” was a favorite genre for painters in the 18-19th century. The good thing about paintings (as opposed to photos) is that the painter can let his imagination run wild with little constraint from “reality”. The women can be as volumptious or as slender as the painter wishes. Or if the painter wishes the women can even have wings. The following have been chosen by the administrator. The administrator believes the paintings are an example of what was in the heads of painters in the 18-19th century. Click the images to expand, scroll view and enjoy the images to the full.
