Summary
Nudity in Western art evolved over centuries, from portraying figures in Hell or sinful acts to more approving depictions as seen in Lucas Cranach's paintings. Artists were fascinated by the idea of a "golden age" where people lived in harmony with nature and each other, depicted through the portrayal of nude figures.
