Request

Rather simple here.

I'd like titles (and artists) to favorite paintings/sculptures of the human form.

It's for my Art History class. I've got a paper, and I'm doing it on this subject. Aside from an interest in what other people like, I'm hoping for something that I wouldn't have thought of on my own. Because I'm likely to end up with some Botero, Goya, El Greco, Freud, possibly Kahlo, maybe Moore, and probably a few more i can't think of.

If the work is of a nude-all the better.

thanks.

Does it matter what time period?

- Laocoon Group by Hagesandros, Athanadoros, and Polydoros of Rhodes

- Battle of the Nudes by del Pollaiuolo

- The Pastoral Concert by Giorgione and Titian

- David by Bernini
