The selection of paintings is good, but the text offers only a brief overview of nudity in art during the last few centuries, mainly by focusing on individual artists like Velázquez, Ingres, Degas, Rodin, Renoir, Picasso, etc., and does not follow the actual images.

This means that most of the paintings mentioned in the text do not appear in the book at all (and those that do are to be found on completely different pages), and most of the paintings that are actually printed are left there without any commentary.

It's good as a coffee table book, and not so much as an art book.
