    Adam was a porcelain bodybuilder with a tiny...?

    "a tiny...?" was a sign of nobility at the time of the art.

    Clearly it wasn't painted by an English gentleman then.

    What did Adam say to Eve the very first time he experienced an erection?

    "Stand back Honey...I don't know how big this thing gets - !"

    @SpinyNorman -- Michaelangelo was Italian, I believe, and seemed to be devoted to classical culture and by some classical lights, the bigger the pecker, the bigger the fool.

    A site that may tell you more than you ever wanted to know about big and little tallywackers observes:

    Greeks considered a large phallus to be humorous, and their art was supposed to be austere. In the arts, small penis identified the ideal or intellectual aspect of the human male, whilst in theatre for example, the person playing the "fool" role wore something like an oversized phallus to indicate his stupidity, the idea being he was therefore closer to animals and less human than his opponent.

    English gentlemen used to wear codpieces...

    To be hairless (smooth as a porcelain) down there was a sign of nobility at the time, and not only at the time of the art. Anyways, that body of a bodybuilder to contrast of a tiny...? And anyways number two: satyrs got the most charming nymphs. It's as true as that painting of Michelangelo.

    Great paintings, but I like this one a bit more:

    He doesn't look very happy though in the painting. Is he a gay satyr?

    The painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau was not a gay. And there's absolutely nothing gay in that painting. And after all we all are animals with animal instincts :) .

    Really? That satyr looks quite panicky, like he really doesn't want to be dragged off into the bushes by those horny nymphs. ;)

    I like how michaelangelo slipped the cranial cavity as God's vehicle past the church.

    Looks like he's being dragged into the drink...pond.

    They look innocent to me - who else but the innocent at heart and young children be completely at ease sans clothing.

    I'm not sure about that. Note the mischevious expression on the face of the middle nymph, and note that another nymph has got a good grip on one of the satyrs horns.. ;)

    @ourself -- I'm more interested in the fact that that which is called "God" has a belly button ... thus suggesting a mom of some sort.

    @genkaku;

    Michaelangelo was humanist and knew exactly what he was doing with the cranial cavity and Adams belly button, I think.

    I took a liberty there but I'm pretty sure you meant Adam and not "God".

    Given that @genkaku's name IS Adam, I believe it's what's known as a Freudian Slip....

    @ourself -- I am grateful for your courteousness, but in fact I was referring to the guy with the beard surrounded in the cranial cavity by all those nymphs, angels, dryads, fairies, or whoever those kids are. Look closely and the guy with the beard has a belly button just like Adam's ... and I don't mean mine.

    The guy with the beard is "God" I think ... or, if he has a belly button, perhaps not? It's not easy keeping up with iconography ... which is, I guess, what keeps iconographers in business.

    Never mind ... I'm still back with the arrogant ant floating down the Thames and prophesying an ignominious, pecker-powered destruction of Tower Bridge. I am a sucker for the ludicrous.

    I just can't see a belly button through the robes...

    Do you have a "naked" app?

    edited October 2015

    Whose bleedin' belly button are we on abart?! I can't see God's and I can't see the satyr's either. I can see Adam's and several nymphs are showing them too.

    I have a pierced belly-button, so it can't be mine.....

    @ourself -- It's my X-ray vision, but I don't generally like to let that cat out of the bag ... some wise guy is likely to point a gun at me and say something challenging like, "OK, Superman, let's see you stop this!"

    More (kind of) seriously, if you look at various versions of the picture on Google Images, the shading can make God's belly button a bit more obvious.

    @SpinyNorman -- Is that because of God's belly-button, Adam's pecker prowess or lack thereof, @Federica's piercings ... what, exactly is weirder about all that than "enlightenment" or "rebirth" or guys wearing dresses in Buddhism?

  • DairyLamaDairyLama Veteran Veteran

    I'm still intrigued by those horny nymphs pulling at the panicky satyr. What are they planning to do with him, and is it something nice or nasty?

  • WalkerWalker Veteran Veteran

    According to this, the satyr is the horny one, and the nymphs are trying to give him the cold shower treatment.

    Have you ever been near a satyr? That one needed a bath BIG TIME.
