Photographer Paul Freeman takes a sometimes tongue-in-cheek look at the way European men have adorned and mythologized themselves and their physical courage over the centuries, and refers for inspiration to monumental art and paintings that were the work of artists who tended to depict a fantasy of sensuality rather than the brutal masculinity of reality. This sumptuous collection of gorgeous male art nude photographs is printed on large format art stock paper, another masterful tome by the inimitable Freeman, following closely on the heels of his bestselling Bondi and Outback series of books.
