This edited scholarly volume offers a perspective on the history
of the genre of the nude in the Middle East and includes
contributions written by scholars from several disciplines (art
history, history, anthropology). Each chapter provides a distinct
perspective on the early days of the fine arts genre of the nude,
as its author studies a particular aspect through analysis of
artworks and historical documents from the late nineteenth- and
early twentieth-centuries. The volume examines a rich body of
reproductions of both primary documents and of works of art made
by Lebanese, Egyptian, Syrian artists or of anonymous book
illustrations from the nineteenth century Ottoman erotic
literature.
