I consulted the Net just now. Circlist.com confirmed your assertion. Wish I had your experience in Florence, Italy to see all this firsthand and then to have Italian Jewish friends at the same time!

My Italian friends who are Jewish specifically remarked on that incorrect depiction of the young King David. In fact I have seen on the 'net somewhere a picture of the statue being ritually circumcised by a mohel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129943247192329958.post-73177231380304439192008-11-06T16:40:00.000-05:002008-11-06T16:40:00.000-05:00The last pic is just so incredibly hot!SolojoThe last pic is just so incredibly hot!<BR/>SolojoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129943247192329958.post-11096513595549060772008-11-06T12:02:00.000-05:002008-11-06T12:02:00.000-05:00The circumcision of Christ is a common theme of Ch...The circumcision of Christ is a common theme of Christian art, or at least, it was until the 18th century.

Yes, it is true that the depiction of nude uncircumcised males began with the ancient Greeks and Romans. But Michelangelo used a Jewish model for his statue of David who certainly was circumcised.Thom in DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917908078249740159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129943247192329958.post-53680577979329649012008-11-05T09:52:00.000-05:002008-11-05T09:52:00.000-05:00Most naked statues are from antiquity so are uncir...Most naked statues are from antiquity so are uncirced, but at the LA Colliseum there's a statue of one of the athletes from the LA Olympics (86, I think) who is fully circed, and at the Honolulu airport there used to be (it's been years since I've been to Hawaii) a statue of a rower who is also fully circed. If I can find the pics I took (not very good quality - sorry) I'll send them. It's great to see modern statuary representing what's great about America, and being American including being circed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
