Madonna and Child by Donatello

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/119-madonna-and-child

With this terra-cotta statue, slightly under life-size, we encounter figures that demonstrate the beginnings of the Italian Renaissance admiration for the human body. Earlier statues in the collection, like the Pisan Annunciation pair, The Archangel Gabriel and The Virgin Annunciate, present the figure as a relatively simple and static form, with drapery arranged in graceful, decorative patterns that tell little about the body it covers.

The Marquesa de Pontejos by Francisco Goya

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/92-marquesa-de-pontejos

Trees, grass, and shrubbery, simplified almost to abstraction, set off the fragile, wasp–waisted figure of María Ana de Pontejos y Sandoval, the Marquesa de Pontejos. Splendidly attired, she typifies those ladies of the Spanish aristocracy who affected the „shepherdess“ style of Marie Antoinette, so popular in pre–revolutionary France.

Between 1877 and 1878, Gustave Caillebotte made a series of paintings focusing on swimmers, fishermen, rowers, and canoers at his family estate in Yerres. In Skiffs , which was exhibited at the fourth impressionist exhibition in 1879 under the name Pésissoires sur L’Yerres (Flat-Bottom Canoes on the Yerres) , he adopted the short, broken brushstrokes of Monet and the bold palette of Renoir, but achieved a much different effect:

Antony Valabrègue by Paul Cezanne

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/52389-antony-valabregue

Working diligently to find his artistic voice in the first decade of his career, Cézanne often prevailed upon friends and relatives to act as models in his studio on the family estate in Aix-en-Provence. The poet and art historian Antony Valabrègue, who grew up with Cézanne in Aix, sat for the young artist several times in the 1860s.
