[Nymph Philosophy] Why the nude female form?
#14
I wasn't sure which word to use to describe them, since it's really a group of different but related "beings" that were usually drawn nude in medieval manuscripts.

Some of them are rising from graves, some are in hell, some are divine beings. What they have in common is that they are not currently alive in the corporeal sense.
