Best Answer

The Renaissance was a period in which Humanism flourished. Humanists promoted a return to Greek and Latin classical texts as a way to enlighten their own lives, and they also emphasized the human body in art. Whereas medieval painting had been dominated by religious themes, the human body became in the Renaissance the center of artistic exploration. Concomitantly, in sixteenth-century Europe, the first dissections were performed, and poems were written about different body parts in both Italy and France. In short, the Renaissance was fascinated by the human more than by the divine.

Because the human body has always been regarded as an example of beauty. In Ancient Greece sculptors sought to create the ultimately beautiful body. Later some civilisations have declared nudity shameful, e.g. Victorian England and present-day US.

Why do people allow old and new paintings and statues of people naked or having their testicles breasts pubic area and buttocks exposed but don't like or allow nudity?

The difference between nudity in art with frontal or buttocks exposed and nudity in movies or other sources is that art is art. Other nudity is gratuitous--unnecessary in most cases and intended only to only sensationalize sexual feelings or actions.
