Malthus1 on March 15, 2026 2:36 pm Renaissance artists were just as notable for religious pics and statues of naked men. My favorite were the various statues of the Biblical David, some of them also somewhat male gaze-y, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_(Donatello,_bronze) Edit: the wiki article has three views of this statue in the “history” section … one focussing on its butt.
TSSalamander on March 15, 2026 2:38 pm The woman in question there is too skinny tbh. Not that either are not beautiful just you know, they were significantly chubbier in those paintings.
