Neoclassical figural nude statues emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as artists sought to revive the ideals of ancient Greek and Roman art, emphasizing harmony, proportion, and restrained emotion. These sculptures often depict mythological or allegorical figures rendered with idealized anatomy and serene expressions, reflecting Enlightenment values of reason, beauty, and moral virtue. Crafted from marble or bronze, Neoclassical nudes showcase precise anatomical detail and smooth, polished surfaces that highlight the human form’s elegance and balance. Artists like Antonio Canova and Jean-Antoine Houdon were masters of this style, creating works that combined classical inspiration with a renewed focus on naturalism and individual character, influencing Western art and sculpture for generations.
