Musidora. Artist: Thomas Sully (American, Horncastle, Lincolnshire 1783-1872 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Dimensions: 28 1/8 x 22 1/2 in. (71.4 x 57.2 cm). Date: 1813-35.Painted in Sully's most succulent, painterly manner, "Musidora" is his only known nude. Inspired by James Thomson's poem Summer (1727), it is at once chaste and erotic, a combination that had great appeal for contemporary Victorian audiences. Sully depicts the modest Musidora at the moment her suitor, Damon, discovers her bathing in the forest. His gentlemanly conduct so impresses her that she pledges her love for him at once. The subject was painted by many artists of the day, but Sully's interpretation, in which the unwitting viewer plays the role of Damon, is compellingly unique. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Bather Stepping into a Tub. Artist: Edgar Degas (French, Paris 1834-1917 Paris). Dimensions: 22 x 18 3/4 in. (55.9 x 47.6 cm). Date: ca. 1890.Degas's interest in the motif of a nude entering the water apparently dates to his student days, when he copied the figure of a man scrambling over a riverbank from an engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi after Michelangelo. This is one of seven pastels in which Degas ventured a modern version of the subject. The woman, her arms and legs splayed precariously against a zinc bathtub, powerfully manifests the combination of physical awkwardness and sensuality that characterizes the artist's depictions of bathers. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Nude with Flowering Branch. Artist: Gustave Courbet (French, Ornans 1819-1877 La Tour-de-Peilz). Dimensions: 29 1/2 x 24 in. (74.9 x 61 cm). Date: 1863.This is the first Courbet nude acquired by the Americans Louisine (1855-1929) and H. O. Havemeyer (1847-1907), who amassed one of the largest and most representative private collections of the artist's works. The couple purchased the painting in 1892, despite H. O. Havemeyer's initial disapproval and their mutual agreement to forego buying nudes. Louisine Havemeyer considered it "one of the loveliest pictures I have ever seen," and her husband was soon won over by the work. The branch held by the woman is often identified as that of a cherry tree. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
