Angelo Incarnato (Angel Made Flesh)
Charcoal on paper

Date: 1513-1515

This is the only surviving erotic drawing by Leonardo, most possibly based on Salai. According to some sources other (homo)erotic images existed but were destroyed by a French priest after Leonardo’s death to “keep his dignity intact”.

The Angelo Incarnato once belonged to the Royal Collection, but vanished mysteriously only to show up again in 1990, causing a stir: No one liked it, no one wanted to see it, and whenever it was shown, it was shown cropped to hide the obvious. It wasn’t the first time either that it was tampered with, as is visible by the smudge marks over the erection, where someone at some point in time tried to erase it…
