A light-hearted historical and often hysterical personal introduction by Felicity Jervis to some people – not all beautiful – who took their kit off to be painted and sculptured by world-famous artists, facing ridicule, outcry, ex-communication, even demonization yet finally, fame. Behind the scenes of Lady Godiva, The Duchess of Alba, Titian and his strawberry blondes, Nureyev, Goya, Picasso, Richard Avedon, Michelangelo’s David, the nude Olympians, the hidden Pompeian ‘pleasure paintings’ and the famous Riace bronze warriors. A 60-minute live documentary with hundreds of illustrations to get you thinking.
