Photography and Painting
Nudes were frowned upon in 17th century Spain, and rarely displayed. The court painter Diego Velasquez produced this rare exception of Venus at her toilette, gaining acceptance with the discrete back view. Know as the "Rokeby Venus" for its donor, it hangs today in the National Gallery in London.
