Human Figure

The Aegean Sea — Frederic Edwin Church

Human Figure is a subject in art. The gallery holds 200 works in this subject in art, including works by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, Emanuel de Witte and Alfred Sisley.

The nude, as a form of visual art that focuses on the unclothed human figure, is an enduring tradition in Western art. It was a preoccupation of Ancient Greek art, and after a semi-dormant period in the Middle Ages returned to a central position with the Renaissance.
