… he had to be circumcised in accordance with Jewish law. That ritual was done on the eighth day after his birth, at which time he was also named.
The Catholic Church celebrated the day as the Feast of the Circumcision until 1960. Not sure why they stopped, but it is now one of Mary’s feast days.
Anyway, if no male genitalia, then no circumcision of the foreskin.
In addition, Jesus was supposed to be fully God and fully Man, so he needed those bits.
Finally, artists in the Renaissance were not shy about depicting the human body, especially infant males and Mary the Mother of Jesus in the act of nursing her baby boy. Every part of that act was considered sacred — her breasts that nourished her son, her milk, all of it.
The fact that the artists chose pretty girls as models was just a bonus.
