little2add Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Genesis 3:7-10 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” Edited January 16, 2017 by little2add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do you have no idea, there is no way in which you could even begin to know what you are talking about. That was a horrible and ignorant thing to say and you should be ashamed of yourself.

It was opined by dUSt to be marginally inappropriate for some potential readers with a jokey label. It was the context of the thread and probable immaturity of a few others. Other than that, it was a beautiful and technically remarkable painted depiction of a young woman. We find what we seek. Sometimes we aren't willing or capable of setting their sights a little higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The history and commentary on the nude in art makes interesting reading - from the Metropolitan Art Museum in the USA: http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/nuan/hd_nuan.htm Quote Since the nudes of ancient Greece and Rome became normative in later Western art, it is worth pausing to consider what they are and are not. They express profound admiration for the body as the shape of humanity, yet they do not celebrate human variety; they may have sex appeal, yet they are never totally prurient in intent. The nudes of Greco-Roman art are conceptually perfected ideal persons, each one a vision of health, youth, geometric clarity, and organic equilibrium. Kenneth Clark considered idealization the hallmark of true nudes, as opposed to more descriptive and less artful figures that he considered merely naked. His emphasis on idealization points up an essential issue: seductive and appealing as nudes in art may be, they are meant to stir the mind as well as the passions.

From pre-teen through over 70. Agreed, this is something everyone needs to remember, and not just for this topic.
