Why Donatello’s famoly androgyno sculpture of “David” should be tepreted as a reflectn of gay culture Renaissance Florence." data-reactroot="

RULTS FOR "GAY" SCULPTURE ARTWORKS

* gay statue art *

Donatello moled the heads of many of his sculptur and statu om Roman bts, and art historians now generally believe that David’s was based on Anto, Emperor Hadrian’s gay lover. Janson first posed that the artist himself was gay (or at least mored to be) 1957, and that Donatello’s personal bgraphy drove his homoerotic pictn of David. Janson’s alln to Donatello’s homosexualy, and his suggtn that the artist’s inty might have played a part this masterpiece, put cril nos out of jot.

Yet this reactn was particularly rash, nsirg that 15th-century Florence was nsired a gay mec. Florence had such a reputatn for beg acceptg of homosexualy that the French lled gay sex the “Florente Vice, ” and Germany, Florenzer was slang for a sodome. Conservative monks railed agast this acceptance for more than moral reasons, worryg that the growg trend of homosexual relatns between unmarried men would lead to a cy-wi populatn cle.

The first terpretatn of the Ganyme tale is born om the homosexual relatns that were acknowledged some ancient Greek stat.

The relatnships were not what we would today ll homosexual. Even as they emphasised the Christian msage of this scene, homosexual artists of the Renaissance were not bld to the more obv meang of the Ganyme myth. Some patrons may have requted a versn of the Ganyme myth as an exprsn of their homosexual sir.

THE GAY FIGURE ARTISTS ARE REIMAGG THE MALE GAZE

In poetry, plays, and even mon parlance, Ganyme me to stand for both paedophilic and homosexual tast. Homosexualy the morn sense was only named and acknowledged the late neteenth century. While many homosexual men had to rema gey about their love, there were some outspoken artists who were relatively open about their sir.

Today his works, cludg a patg of Ganyme before he is rried off, are some of the few ma by a homosexual artist that explore the psychology of gay men. Dpe the ubiquy of Ganyme wtern art, his populary fell away the late neteenth century favour of another symbol for homosexual love.

It may be that openly displayg a work of Ganyme, wh all of s illic homosexual unrton, would too openly 'out' a llector as a Ganyme himself. For homosexual Grand Tourists, Anto proved irristible.
