Index to Erotic Pictures.

Erotica has been popular since the dawn of time
and all civilizations have examples of erotic art
which can be seen in Museums and Art Galleries.
These pages attempt to indicate the history of the wide variety which can be seen.
On this index page we show items from early civilizations
leading up to the main flowering of Erotic art in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Here are two examples from Greece.
The first is between 500-475BC and the second is possible a little later 400BC.
