Nudity in the form of Art

Peace Jaxal

Looking at those paintings, do u think someone actually posed for them? Do u think Mona Lisa was a real person?

Da Vinci was known to use models, and while the model's name may not have been Mona Lisa, Da Vinci apparently used a model o

Peace Jaxal,

Are you an art fan or just nude art heheh? I don't know which...but most everyone knows most artists use real models unless one is Picasso...they were normally commissioned by rich people to paint their families or themselves or other stuff depending on what the artist was famous for...the Mona Lisa is also known as La Gioconda, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo. My fave artists are Vermeer and Monet btw...you can google to find out more about the history of Mona Lisa if you want...

Im always afraid of arguing with you SC Loll but Mona Lisa isnt a real person. No one posed for that painting. I looked into it a long time ago when the move Mona Lisa Smile came out lolll . I was thinking it was somehow based on a real person called Mona Lisa. By the way, here is a funny pic i made of Mona Lisa Lolllllllllllllll

You are right. Someone will always find the other person attractive and sexy. But im saying, its different when women wear sleeveless shirts becoz they have boobies. Men dont have them so its not obviously sexual for men to wear sleeveless shirts.

A friend of mine once told me...muscles on guys works as boobies on girls (for attraction)..P

No, really, I'm an Art student, someone must have posed for that painting, or was used for reference, (quite possibly Da Vinci himself) as did they tend to do for Da Vinci's works.

In fact the idea of no model, or reference being used in paintings is extremely absurd, the exception being for emotive, imaginitive or abstract works, which Da Vinci did not do involving people to the best of my knowledge. You're going to have to face up to the fact that painting and drawing things accurately means seeing them, even if it involves looking at boobies lol!

There is a article, that says that it was Learnado himself. Meaning, he painted himself, only giving it female features. So i will try to find that article out and give it to you. And buzzor, some of the most beautiful painting have come from imagination. wink
