He saw that they were all full-grown men that they were nude to the waist, and below the thighs that their breasts and arms were painted that they carried nought but their bows, quivers, and spears in short, that they were braves on the war-trail! Strangest sight of all to the eyes of the hatero was the leader who rode at the head of that silent band.
He returned to Florence for the winter, and with renewed vigour produced his San Sebastian, a splendid study from the nude, which shows the influence upon him of Michelangelo's paintings in Rome.
Quite nude, the women sit down in the water, let the shrimps bite them; as they nip, seize them.
The motive was always a nude female figure, of great beauty; the same face, with much variety of expression; for background all manner of fantastic scenes, or rather glimpses and suggestions of a poet's dreamland. "You see what I mean?" said Kite. "It's simply Woman, as a beautiful thing, as a a oh, I can't get it into words. An ideal, you know something to live for.

His only garment a lion's skin, with the claws upon his shoulder falls halfway down his back, leaving the limbs and entire front of the figure nude.

Therefore it may be assumed as certain that the members of an architectural structure follow the laws exemplified in the human body. He who has not been or is not a good master of the nude, and especially of anatomy, cannot understand the principles of architecture."
The room was circular, thirty feet or so in diameter, covered by a hemispherical dome; walls and ceiling were dark blue, spotted with gold stars; and reaching from floor to floor across the dome stretched a colossal figure in red lacquer of a nude woman kneeling, her legs reaching out along the floor on either side, her head touching the lintel of the door through which we had entered, her arms forming its sides, with the fore arms extended and stretching along the walls until they met the long feet.
