I'll be in my bunk: Sexy men from history

[kimberlite8]

I sent a nude picture of Peter Steele for Sansa_Sandor's visual prompt and was pleasantly surprised at the overwhelming response. Over 90 comments! Based on the positive response, Im going to start posting sexy men pics on my LJ account. Mostly for me, but I hope whomever is reading gets a kick of them too. I'll try to focus on historical photos,

Hi there! Just posted the first, of my carefully curated sexy men from history photos on the edited post. I think you said your husband was in the Navy, if I remembered correctly. If so, I hope you'll like this one!

To be random. whenever my father and I go to the archibald prize, he complains that women can't paint sexy.
For the art-meme at SansaXSandor, I have been looking for male nudes
sadly
A) mostly adolescent boys and younger
B) heavily muscled in a weird an unattractive way, often from the Renaissance-Baroque periods. I think the painters might have been gay.
C) Lucien Freud, who needs to stop painting now.
D) 19th century Russian artists, who got their friends and fellow artists to model. This was easily the most attractive male nudes (though not really sexy). But seriously, when it comes to naked men, middle aged Russian men should not be the top of the barrel.
Conclusion: men can't paint sexy men, or when they are sexually attracted to men, have weird tastes.

So congrats on finding decent nudes.

I haven't found an artistic representation of Sandor. But there some very beautiful erotically changed paintings/sculptures of adult men. In category D are you familiar with the Russian Art Nouveau painter Konstantin Somov? I think his men very beautiful.

I have found a few paintings with a dark haired nude man viewed from the side/in profile. So I would go with that.
