• Such power I gave the people as might do,
  Abridged not what they had, now lavished new,
  Those that were great in wealth and high in place
  My counsel likewise kept from all disgrace.

  And let not either touch the other's right.

The Nude is a beautifully written work of sophisticated connoisseurship that analyzes art in its own terms rather than imposing strident, politicized categories on it. It outlines the major body types, male and female, in Western art and, via a wealth of illustrations, trains the reader's eye to detect and evaluate proportion. This book reveres art
