Nude Sculpture for Sale
Nude sculpture is a longstanding art form that depicts the human body, often unclothed, but traditionally with elements of drapery covering certain areas. Unlike simple representations of nakedness, nude sculptures focus on the artistic study of human anatomy, proportions, and the ideals of beauty across different eras. While nude art was only recognized as a distinct genre in the 20th century, it has existed for thousands of years, with one of the earliest known examples being the Venus of Willendorf, created around 24,000 BCE. This prehistoric figurine, with its exaggerated features, is believed to symbolize fertility or an ancient standard of feminine beauty.
The tradition of nude sculpture emerged in ancient civilizations, particularly in Europe and the Middle East. Egyptian and Greco-Roman sculptures remain among the most influential works from early art history, with many displayed in major institutions like the Louvre Museum in Paris. Greek nude sculptures first appeared in the 6th century BCE, primarily depicting gods, heroes, and athletes in idealized forms. These marble statues emphasized proportion and symmetry, reflecting a strict canon of beauty that defined Greek art. The Romans later adopted and replicated these sculptures, using them mainly for decorative purposes.
With the rise of Christianity, nude sculpture largely disappeared from artistic production for centuries. It was not until the Italian Renaissance that artists revived the tradition, exploring the human form once again. Masters like Michelangelo, Bernini, and Benvenuto Cellini created some of the most celebrated sculptures in Western art, often using mythological and biblical subjects as a basis for their anatomical studies. Their works helped establish the artistic standards that dominated Western sculpture until the late 19th century.
The arrival of modern art marked a dramatic shift away from the classical representation of the nude. Sculptors like Auguste Rodin and Alberto Giacometti moved beyond realism, prioritizing expressive and symbolic interpretations of the human figure. Their work broke from traditional neoclassical ideals, paving the way for contemporary sculptors to experiment with new materials, forms, and concepts.
Today, nude sculpture continues to evolve, with artists reinterpreting the genre in innovative ways. To explore the latest trends, discover the works of contemporary sculptors such as Sylvie Berry, Jean-François Lemaire, and Cade, who bring fresh perspectives to this enduring artistic tradition.

The three main styles of sculpture are architectural, carvings, and reliefs. Carvings are sculptures created by carving into a material, and reliefs are sculptures where the sculpted components are bonded to a backing material.
Renaissance artists frequently represented the nude body in their work due to influence from the classical sculptures created in ancient Greece. Artists studied in depth from live models, aiming to create realistic, dynamic and mostly idealized representations of the human body.
One of the first known examples of a sculpture representing a female nude figure is Aphrodite of Knidos, a sculpture of the goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite. The sculpture was made around the 4th century BC by renowned sculptor Praxiteles of Athens.
