25 Nudes is a controversial set of erotic engravings created by British artist Eric Gill in the early 20th century. Known for his contributions to typography and sculpture, Gill's explicit depiction of the human form sparked debate due to his unconventional lifestyle and personal beliefs. The series features intricate, yet explicit, representations of nude figures, reflecting Gill's fascination with the human body and sensuality. Despite the artistic merit, the controversy surrounding Gill's private life, including allegations of misconduct, has led to a complex legacy. The engravings remain a testament to the intersection of art, sexuality, and the artist's unconventional world view.
