The regular practice of using live models in art, particularly for figurative and portraiture art, has a rich history. The use of live models became increasingly prominent during the Renaissance, flourished throughout the Parisian salon period Académie des Beaux-Arts 18th-20th centuries, and continues today as the cornerstone of representational art education at the best international ateliers and art universities.
