ABSTRACT
Researchers in the field of homosexuality in art have tended to concentrate on a few broad cultual areas: clas sical antiquity, the Renaissance, modern Europe and north America (see the following sections), and Islam (see III.P). While certain themes from classical mythology and history are homosexual in content, and many individual artists have been homosexual or lesbian, attempts to define a distinctive homosexual sensibility in the fine arts have proved elusive.
