Les dessous des chefs-d'œuvre. Belles et nues (French)

Art history’s most important nudes bare all in this fascinating investigation into the covert historical and narrative details of naked masterworks. Through the revealing lens of authors Rose-Marie and Rainer Hagen—and with crisp, enlarged details and in-depth analytical essays—deities, lovers, and otherworldly creatures alike cease to be two-dimensional and come to full hot-blooded life.
