Ian Jenkins and Victoria Turner, British Museum, explore Greek nudity and other fascinating themes covered in the British Museum's current international touring exhibition.
The ancient Greeks cultivated the naked male body as an object of beauty and sign of moral and social value. Fewer opportunities presented themselves for representing female nudes, but sculptors became increasingly skilful at suggesting warm flesh beneath flimsy drapery. Ian Jenkins and Victoria Turner, British Museum, explore Greek nudity and other fascinating themes covered in the British Museum's current international touring exhibition.
This event will take place in the Stevenson lecture theatre.
