In Genesis‚ the naked body is something considered to be ashamed of by Adam and Eve‚ but not “bad”. The bodies of Adam and Eve were created and given by the Lord God‚ which is a pure and good being. In the Sarcophagus of Junius and Bassus‚ we can find Adam and Eve in a lower section between two columns.

The first and possibly one of the most famous female nude sculptures is Praxiteles’ The Venus de Milo. It was likely created between 130 and 100 BC‚ although the exact date of origin is a source of some controversy.
