    Because the subject is art, I expect that nudes are acceptable. The first is Theseus, now expertly restored to its original vivid color, from Herculaneum. Practically a miracle that it survived at all, it's artist's and models' names will be forever lost to history. This is one of the first paintings from antiquity discovered in a near-pristine state, unearthed in the mid-18th century. In it, Theseus has just killed a mythical monster, the Minotaur, and he is being congratulated by a group of children.

    The second is a work by Antonio Canova, the most revered Italian sculptor of his day, that was considered scandalous at the time, not the work itself but that the subject, Emperor Napoleon's sister Pauline Bonaparte (1780-1825), insisted on showing it to her many guests. Aristocrats in Europe at the time simply did not pose nude. Her second husband, Prince Camillo Borghese, commissioned the work as a fully-clothed chaste Goddess Diana for his arranged marriage to Pauline. She insisted to the sculptor that she pose mostly nude and as Venus. The pose and details are in the form of a Venus Victrix, and the work is displayed today in the Galleria Borghese in Rome.

    She had a remarkable life, and was the only one of Napoleon's siblings who wasn't interested only in the lands and titles that he could offer while in power. In personal matters, she pursued her intimate pleasures virtually without limit. When chided for her scandalous liaisons and encouraged to take up residence with husband Camillo, whom she didn't know well before their wedding and whom she largely abandoned after their first night together, Pauline complained bitterly in her letters that she discovered on their wedding night that her very wealthy new husband was physically underequipped to share her bed.

    A star of the Prado's collection, which is saying something. The crowds aren't as big as those trying to glimpse Da Vinci's Mona Lisa in Paris, and it's in a much smaller room in Madrid, but they are large. On the other hand, it's quite a large work, so easier to view, even in a crowded room.

    To create the thinnest stone veil takes a sculpure of true genius. Raffaelle Monti’s veils seem to flutter in the slightest breeze.

    It is certainly fine work, and there was considerable competition among sculptors of his era with veiling. It also helps to have something spectacular on which to try to improve. Antonio Corradini's veiled work of more than a century earlier cetainly inspired Monti.
