This sub is dedicated to works of classical/academic/museal art that portray the human body as nude(s). Male and female, just posing for the artist or as part of a real, mythological or religious or historic or whatever happening.

For us, a Nude is a work where:
1. Nudity is the main theme. The title may indicate this; a partial nude may be OK, since it at least suggests there is more outside of the image's boundaries.
or,
2. One or more people are completely naked, where that is often not essential or even functional (Scenes from mythology, harems, swimmers, sunbathers, etc.)
Fig leaves: OK, as they tend to emphasize nudity. Jewelry here and there: Same. Back views are OK as well.
Breasts, genitals, buttocks on their own: no, not enough.

RULES:

  • Only single, static, high-res images. So no gifs, video, articles, albums etc.), preferably with high resolution.

  • Only reproductions of paintings and drawings from the classical/museal art canon, that are at least 70-80 years old, i.e. in the public domain.

  • Use only direct links to images uploaded to picture sites such as i.reddit.com, imgur.com or upload.wikimedia.org. No link shorteners.

  • Titles must read either "Artist name - Title (Year)" or "Artist name (Born-Deceased) - Title. Examples: "Raoul Dufy - The Two Models (1930)" or "Charles Hermans (1839-1924) - At Dawn"

  • Submission limit: 4 per poster, per day.

  • NSFW tags are not needed for classical/academic/museal art.

  • No reposts. Search the sub for artist name and/or subject or title before posting. Unless you have something with much better quality/resolution than the previous version has. And unless the original post is older than 2 years.

  • No spam, no self-promotion, fundraising, marketing etc. Also, no hatred, obscenery, abuse, politics, etc. etc., you know the drill. Treat others as you want others to treat you.
