Nuda Veritas (1899) is a painting by Gustav Klimt. It features a quote by Schiller: "Kannst Du nicht allen gefallen durch Deine Tat und Dein Kunstwerk, mach es wenigen recht, vielen gefallen ist schlimm." Nuda Veritas is Latin for truth in nakedness. The painting shocked the contemporary Viennese bourgeoisie because of its depiction of pubic hair. Pubic hair marks the dividing line between a Venus and a Nini (Gilles Néret).
