Pompeiian Bather
Pompeiian Bather by the
British painter John William Godward (1861–1922). It seems that
Godward did them on the assembly line.

Seductive Judith
Judith by the Flemish
manierist painter Jan Massys (1509-1575). Another great example of

Chaste Godiva
Lady Godiva (1897) by

Western Odalisque
Odalisque (1933) by the
great American artist Howard Chandler Christy (1873-1952). It's
obvious that Christy was much more influenced by actual American
night life than by oriental fantasies.

Homage to Klimt
Danae
by the by the Italian artist Maurilio Manara (born 1945). Evidently a
homage to the great Klimt who is to be seen in the back.

of these impressive watercolors by the Scottish painter William
Russell Flint (1880 - 1969).

Coming to Live
Pygmalion by the French neoclassical painter Anne-Louis Girodet (1767-1824). It's really, really cheesy, the rosy cheeks, the divine light and not at last the little cherub.
Friday, May 3, 2013
Seductive Musician
The Almeh by the French Orientalis Painter Charles Landelle (1821-1908).
An Almeh was a kind of courtesan and entertainer in Arab Egypt. the painting suggests that she has more to offer than only music and poetry.
Saturday, April 27, 2013
Nice Girly Bather
Susanna by the British Painter Frederick Goodall (1822-1904). Sure Susanna is bathing, but where are the elders?
Friday, April 19, 2013
Exotic Slave Girl
A slave girl by the Polish painter Pantaleon Szyndler (1846-1905). Could be a harem or a historical scene. But I don't think that it matters, the main issue was to have an exotic nude.
Thursday, April 11, 2013
Beautiful Birds
Some exotic birds by the Austrian neo-Rococo painter Hans Zatzka (1859-1945). Pure cheesy fantasy as always.
Wednesday, April 3, 2013
A Cool Composition
A pin-up by the British artist David Wright (1912-1967). It's one of these cool compositions so typical for him.
