nudity and the purist religion

it is a widespread misconception that religions don't allow nudity. There are many examples of religious art where the naked human body is not only absolutely normal, but necessary for the expression of the religious feeling or thought.

Let me give you some examples.

When travelling in Bali, the Island of the Gods, you'll find many statues of this highly acclaimed god, who is not only totally nude, but who's extremities indicate an enhanced power. Here's a picture I took in an art gallery in Kuala Lumpur (indeed, a majority muslim country):

There's even a huge statue of this god in (if I'm not mistaken) Denpasar, in the middle of a busy crossroad. Lovely.

One might think that this is only possible in Bali, a very relaxed island. One would be mistaken: the religious expression of nudity is to be found everywhere, although not always in the most obvious places. In an Indian temple for example, male nudity was colorfully depicted:

Which brings me to Europe. Yesterday I was browsing through some art sites, and  they brought me back in time to the renaissance period in Europe. I rediscovered some forgotten masterpieces in religious art, depicting the male body in detail. See some examples for yourself: painted by Luca Signorelli:

Many other examples come in mind: the recent naked Christ in the Barcelona cathedral (Gaudi), the art of another famous renaissance artist: Michelangelo, and so on.

Do you know other forms of male nude religious art? Share them please, no matter what religion and no matter what time period. I'm looking forward to seeing more :-)
