Pearls of Aphrodite

The Pearls of Aphrodite by the british Victorian era painter Herbert James Draper (1863 – 1920).

Draper was specialized in mythological scenes and mermaids, so here he combined both.

Exotic (water) Dancers

The Nereids (1902) by the French painter Gaston Bussière (1862-1929).

Once more Bussière shows some of his beloved exotic dancers. So it's more a Paris night club scene and nothing mytholocical.

Biblis

Biblis (1884) by the French academic painter William Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905).

Biblis fell in love with her twin brother Caunus, who fled from her. She followed him throughout Asia Minor until she died from exhaustion and grief.
Here can be seen a very sad girl, but she didn't look exhausted at all.

Romantic Innocence

Innocence by the French Romantic painter Paul (Hippolyte) Delaroche (1797-1856).

Delaroche depicts here a "child of nature" in the spirit of Rousseau.

Harem Bath

Another fantastic harem scene by the Austrian painter Hans Zatzka (1859-1945). Aodalisque is preparing her bath.

The Delphic Oracle

The Delphic Oracle (1899) by the british painter John William Godward (1861–1922).

A nice picture, which could be sold today as "Fantasy-Art". But I doubt that the Delphic Oracle could have been a young chick like this.

A waiting Lover

Le Manteau Legendaire (1907) by the French Symbolist painter Léon-François Comerre (1850-1916).

Comerre depicts a a young nude woman clutching the cloak of her lover while she is waiting for his return.

Rococo Venus

The awakening of Venus (1741) by the French Rococo painter Charles-Joseph Natoire (1700-1777).

I think it's evident how big the influence of Rococo on modern nude painting was. Many underestimate this great epoch in painting.
