When I was in Italy back in May, we took a tour of the Vatican Museum with an art historian. It was so very educational. She talked about the period when some of the statues and paintings were 'adjusted' to cover the nakedness. Thankfully, most of the works are now viewed in their originality.

These are ever changing, but we have yet to fully escape our Victorian sense of modesty here in the U.S. Perhaps the artist was attempting to portray beauty and tenderness. If so I think he succeeded.

Before the euro, they had Joan of Arc on their money in a heroic pose in which she had one breast exposed. That would never have happened in the USA.<br /><br />And the Diego Rivera murals in the capitol building in Mexico City would never be allowed in the US Capitol.
