I was browsing through my usual haunts this morning and I stumbled upon this drawing by Giulio Campi (1502-1572) titled
Auferstehung Christi. My casual method of scanning through hundreds of works is simply to let my eye react to some aspect of a work as it flashes by, looking for a nude form. Secondarily, like that game of "
Where's Waldo?", I react to hidden eroticism. When I saw this drawing my eye was drawn to that figure leaning against the wall with his hand around what at first look appeared to be his personal and private member. Is he masturbating? What's going on? With a closer look, it became clear that what he actually held in his hand was the hilt of his sword. I have spotted additional erotic aspects to this composition. See if you can spot them too.
