1980s Erotic nude male portrait of artist's lover, Iconic piece from gay history
Located in Harkstead, GB
This incredibly striking portrait, painted in a fiery palette captures an intimate moment between the artist and sitter who were lovers. Philip Core (1951-1989) Portrait of Adrian Ffooks, 4th/7th regiment Signed and dated 1987 to the reverse Oil on board 30 x 17¾ inches without the frame 35 x 23 inches with the frame Provenance: Gifted as a wedding present to Kit Hesketh-Harvey by his future wife. The artist was a friend of the couple and they had introduced Core to FFooks. Kit Hesketh Harvey co-wrote the screenplay (with James Ivory) for E.M.Forster’s Maurice and he had called upon Ffooks, who was renowned for his horsemanship, to be a stunt double for the equestrian scenes in this iconic film. Philp Core grew up in New Orleans, the son of a well-to-do family. At just seven he won the Vieux Carré Open Artists Competition. He was sent to a military academy, and from 1963 to the Middlesex School in Concord, Massachusetts. He attended Harvard University, where he won a number of art and literature prizes. As a schoolboy he self-published a booklet of drawings Palm Fronde Alphabet. An interest in Aubrey Beardsley and fin de siècle artists and writers, led to him spending time in Paris working with Philippe Jullian on his book The Symbolists, before returning to Harvard to complete an honours thesis on Belgian symbolist Fernand Khnopff. He graduated in 1973. Under the pseudonym Féllippé Fecit, he produced a series of erotic drawings for the poet John Glassco for his book Squire Hardman, and in 1968 in the Japanese style for The Temple of Pederasty, a free adaption by Glassco of a work by Japanese expatriate writer Ken Sato. Of this time, George Melly...

Whispers of Ancestry , Figurative original painting by Tetiana Pchelnykova
Located in Sempach, LU
In the evocative stillness of "Whispers of Ancestry," the latest painting in my "Thoughts" series, I present a young woman seated, her knees drawn up to her chest in a gesture of contemplation and self-protection. Her bare form speaks not just of vulnerability but of the raw canvas of humanity, unshielded and sincere. This image captures a moment of introspection, where the silence around her is rich with the echoes of ancestral wisdom. The apple trees, heavy with crimson fruit, bend towards her as if to share the stories and lessons imbued by generations past. Their red apples are like whispers of knowledge, symbols of the life force passed down through time, offering both sustenance and reflection. The woman's dreamy gaze suggests she is not just recalling her own experiences but also accessing the collective memory and spirit of her lineage. In this piece, the apple trees serve as a bridge between the present and the whispers of history, reminding us that we are forever rooted in the stories of those who came before us. "Whispers of Ancestry" is a homage to the continuum of life, an artistic meditation on the interconnectedness of our individual journeys with the enduring legacy of our forebears. It is an invitation to the viewer to listen to the whispers of their own heritage and to find strength in the shared wisdom that has weathered the passage of time.

André Hallet, Liège, Belgium 1890 – 1959 Kisenyi, Rwanda, 'The Water Carriers'
By André Hallet
Located in Bruges, BE
André Hallet Liège, Belgium 1890 – 1959 Kisenyi, Rwanda Belgian Painter 'The Water Carriers' Signature: Signed bottom left, placed and named on reverse Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: Image size 100 x 80,50 cm, frame size 120,50 x 100,50 cm Biography: Hallet André was born in the Liege in 1890, emerged as a luminary in the world of Belgian post-impressionist painting. His oeuvre, a testament to his profound talent, has graced the walls of over 60 museums worldwide, including the venerable Louvre in Paris, France. Hallet’s artistic repertoire was as expansive as it was breathtaking. He wielded his brush with mastery in a multitude of genres, creating enchanting landscapes, bustling cityscapes, serene garden views, captivating marine scenes, evocative genre depictions, and intimate portraits that breathed life onto his canvases. The journey of André Hallet’s artistry began under the tutelage and guidance of R. Heintz. He honed his craft further at the Academy in Liege. It was in the South of France that Hallet discovered the transcendent allure of light and the sun, infusing his work with a cheerful and impressionistic burst of color. The vibrant hues of his palette mirrored the radiant landscapes he encountered in Flanders and the Mediterranean, from the sun-kissed shores of Southern France to the picturesque vistas of Italy. In 1920, Hallet embarked on a new chapter, working in the enchanting city of Bruges before ultimately settling in Leuven. Each location left its mark on his art, contributing to the rich tapestry of his creative journey. A turning point in Hallet’s life came in 1934 when the Belgian government sent him to Congo. Later, in 1947, he found his home on the shores of Lake Kivu in Kisenyi, present-day Rwanda. It was here that he would spend the remainder of his life, captivated by the mesmerizing beauty of the African landscape. He passed away in 1959, leaving a lasting legacy. During his time in Africa, Hallet forged a deep connection with Tutsi king Mwambi Matura III of Ruanda-Burundi. This relationship inspired a series of exquisitely detailed portraits, offering a glimpse into the regal splendor of the king’s family...

Shop Antique and Vintage Nude Paintings

Today, antique and vintage nude paintings are popular works of art to consider when decorating your home.

The nude as an artist’s subject gained prominence in ancient Greece, wherein male nudes were rendered equivalent to power and victory owing to the Greeks’ celebration of men in athletic events as well as in the worship of the gods who populate Greek mythology. Nude sculptures in Greece positioned men as warriors — strong, moral and fearless. The naked female figures featured in prehistoric art and the art of ancient civilizations, on the other hand, were symbols of fertility and procreation.

Italian painters of the 1400s looked to the magnificent nude sculptures of Greek and Roman art for inspiration. By the end of the century, drawing of undressed models was part of the common practice for these artists. When Christianity had spread through Europe, however, Christians condemned Renaissance nude paintings — most of which are considered famous nude paintings today — because they were erotic, exploring, in some cases, same-sex relationships as well as women’s sexual power. Censorship was the order of the day, except for religious-themed works, such as 1526’s iconic Adam and Eve, an oil painting made by German Renaissance painter Lucas Cranach the Elder, one of more than 50 works made in his workshop based on the biblical story. Tuscan painter Daniele da Volterra was famously hired to paint fig leaves over the most exposed figures of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. While freedom of expression for artists has expanded significantly since then, prudish censorship persists when it comes to Renaissance nudity.

On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of authentic antique and vintage nude paintings, from works focused on the reliably reclining figures of Impressionist-style art to oil paintings created by contemporary artists who often work to reject the idealized human forms and unrealistic depictions of female nudes that preceded them.
