Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn painted this Diana bathing in 1654, showing the goddess in a naturalistic nude. The figure's soft flesh and rounded form differ from idealized classical nudes.
Rembrandt's realistic approach was controversial. This work has been in the Louvre's collection since 1857.

Rembrandt van Rijn, known for his realistic nudes This work dates to 1654 You can see it at Private Collection.
Rembrandt's nudes were famously realistic rather than idealized. His Diana shows a real woman's body, which shocked contemporaries accustomed to classical perfection, but now feels refreshingly honest.
