I have selected this to put here because it reminds me the Goddess of Love, Venus. The Venus has remained inspiration of almost all the painters while they do figurative art, especially painting natural beauty of females. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000066;"&gt;In the following articles, the journey would be in the beautiful field of figurative paintings. The artists shown in right sidebar would be companions to the viewers who had interest in understanding the art of painting in general and the figurative art in particular. The artists here have tried injecting beauty into their paintings; and the lifeless canvases have become lively by the magical touches of bright and subdued colours of the master painters. They have used all the colours of the rainbow to make these male and female figures alive; they have left no hue untouched; they have left no tonal value of a colour unused.&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Georgia, serif; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4683322959173408315-3593486786720419560?l=paintingsofhumanbodies.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paintingsofhumanbodies.blogspot.com/feeds/3593486786720419560/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4683322959173408315&amp;postID=3593486786720419560&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4683322959173408315/posts/default/3593486786720419560'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4683322959173408315/posts/default/3593486786720419560'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paintingsofhumanbodies.blogspot.com/2008/11/paintings-of-human-bodies.html' title='PAINTINGS OF HUMAN BODIES'/><author><name>NAVAL LANGA</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FCNwMo0WzAI/THKATAH6caI/AAAAAAAACsE/HsyM2Ov7BU0/S220/NAVAL+LANGA1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
