| - | |||
| - | == Middle Ages == | ||
| - | Eroticism is rare in the art of the Early Christian period and the Middle Ages. Pagan monuments were often overtly sexual, but Christian art shunned the world of physical love [...]. Christianity was a non-sexual religion. --Peter Webb, 1975, page 104 | ||
| - | |||
| - | == Italian Renaissance == | ||
| - | |||
| - | Themes: [[Venus]] by Titian, Giorgione - [[Leda]] by Michelangelo (1530) - [[Danae]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | The renewal of interest in Classical Antiquity during the 15th century Italian Renaissance brought about dramatic changes in the progress of the arts. The shameful connotations associated with nudity per se began to disappear, and with the rise of enlightened secular patronage, the hold of the Church over the arts weakened. --Peter Webb, 1975, p. 107 | ||
| - | |||
| - | The rebirth of Classical Antiquity was also the rebirth of Venus, and erotic images of the goddess of love are characteristic of Renaissance art. --Peter Webb, 1975, p. 108 | ||

| - | First documented censorship incidents: Sistine chapel Last Judgment (1563) frescoes by Michelangelo and Pietro Aretino's sonnets (1524) and accompanying engravings. | ||
