	This anonymous 18th century erotic Japanese print, "Exchanging Breath" is remarkably detailed in a few lines.

	His penis is still small, after the classical fashion.

This,
Le Départ de 1792 (La Marseillaise)
on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris (facing the Avenue de Freidland), must have one of the most viewed penises in the world. The sculpture is 12.8 m high and the naked figure is 6 m tall. By François Rude, 1784-1855

200 years later, Bertel Thorvaldsen's
Adonis I (1808-38) is still Mannerist.
His translucent penis has a pinhole
preputial sphincter, not necessarily a
problem in real men.

Neue Pinakotek, Munich


	Thorvaldsen's Jason , though mature, still has a small penis, but with a shorter acroposthion Thorvaldsen (1770–1844) was a struggling artist until this work made his name. He spent most of his life in Italy, but left a museum devoted to his work in Copenhagen.

Rodin sketch

Penis of Rodin sketch
This sketch by Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) is completely unselfconscious: neither Rodin nor his model would have given a second thought to the fact that the man still had his foreskin. It was simply a given.
