Michelangelo's "flaccid penis"

Speranza

The body of the dreamer is positive nudity.

The torso and dimunitve flaccid penis are turning towards the viewer.

The contrast is not simply between different types of social bodies.

It is also between types of visual art.

Michelangelo is distinguishing  himself from pornographers like Giulio Romano, Marcantonio Raimondi, and Perino del Vaga.
