Sexiest Art Poll

The Guardian has their own list of sexiest works of art ever.

I can agree with, say, The Fisherman's Wife:

But then what about Leda and her Swan?:

Totally agree with Corregio's Jupiter and Io:


But I feel like they picked the wrong Danae image. 
They went with Titian:

I would personally go with Klimt:


What else?

Ah, so JS, RS, and Jeff bring up the ever sexy St. Theresa by Bernini:

And a recommendation from AK:

And who could forget Caravaggio's Amor:

BDM adds Girodet's Sleep of Endymion (um, YES):


SLSH brings up the Louvre's Sleeping Hermaphrodite:
Back: 
Front: 

Jennifer says David's Cupid and Psyche (so mischievous):

  1. Bernini's St. Teresa. Also, points to the Guard for Oppenheim's Object.

  2. There is a David painting of Cupid and Psyche in the Cleveland Museum of Art, in which Cupid's grin says it all.

  3. Oppenheim was mentioned in the Guardian article. Still makes me think of licking fur in a ways I can't quite appreciate...
