Over het boek
Boccaccio's first book of Male nudes.
In another life, Boccaccio must have been a Renaissance painter: His use of light, shadow, and the human form take us back to a time when the celebration of the body was the challenge accepted by great artists, from Michelangelo to Titian. Indeed, much of the inspiration for the nudes in this book came from the great masterpieces of Italian painting, frescoes, and sculptures he saw daily while living in Rome, Italy.
There is an Ideal at work in his photography, and although most of his models do not have the ideal body (whatever that is!) Boccaccio is quick to say that the body is not important in itself but only as it points to and reflects the beauty and mystery hidden beneath the form.
