An artist is one who can see divinity in nudity!
― Ramana Pemmaraju

We shift and bedeck and bedrape us, Thou art noble and nude and antique.
– Algernon Charles Swinburne

Inspired by the beauty of the male body.

A handsome man, who has a beautiful muscular body, stands against the backdrop of a Mediterranean landscape. The bright sun illuminates the blue sky and turquoise sea water. The orange tree casts a gentle lilac shadow. Nothing can spoil this sunny day.

Male nudity was celebrated in ancient Greece to a greater degree than any culture before or since. They considered embarrassment at having to disrobe for sports a sign of barbarism. The status of freedom, maleness, privilege, and physical virtues were asserted by discarding everyday clothing for athletic nudity. With the association of the naked body with the beauty and power of the gods, nudity became a ritual costume.
