The Renaissance, with its study of ancient statuaryand imitation of ancient painting, changed all this. Even if GiulioRomano did not illustrate Aretin indecently, as has been said bysome, yet in all his designs there is a passion for the nude, a fondnessfor the unclothed, which definitely distinguishes the spirit and motifsof the sixteenth century fiom those of the fifteenth.
