Well the figures on these ladies are definitely more in line with what this middle aged woman would call "realism", LOL!

Well, after having several children myself, I do like looking at other "beauties" in art history. The standards of art change completely in time. Are you familiar with Rubens and his "Rubenesque" nudes?

Yes, and a funny thing.

My son is enrolled in a Western Humanities online course for the summer semester.

He has all kinds of links to site in his course material, and the other day he was pulling up pictures of "Rubenesque" figures.

I glanced over at the screen and said, "Now those are my kind of women." He laughed.

We live not far from the Ringling Art Museum. They have a wonderful collection of Rubens.
