What is acropolis nude?

Acropolis nude likely refers to the ancient Greek practice of portraying the human body in artworks without clothing, as exemplified by the many statues and reliefs found on the Acropolis in Athens. These naked figures were meant to depict idealized, divine or heroic beings, such as gods, goddesses, heroes and athletes, and express the aesthetic and cultural values of Classical Greece. The most famous example of Acropolis nude sculptures is the Parthenon frieze, which depicts a procession of clothed and unclothed men, women and animals around the temple. The depiction of nudity in Greek art was not only a matter of artistic expression, but also had religious, political, philosophical and social significance, and became a lasting influence on Western art.
