[quote:PoopyFace 64423730:MV8yNjc4MDU4XzQ2OTk4MTM4XzZFNDlDOTQ2] More money and power = money for food and art -> request to the artist to paint them showing all their luxury, in this case, fat Obesity was not desired for the look rather the concept. This woman was spoiled with wealth, which appealed to the aristocracy of the time. You can be certain they didnt do it because cellulite resembles marble Also, they couldnt possibly have been cartoons as artists didnt have time for their own adventures, work was commissioned to them, by the men of these women for example.

Original Message
Every single time I go to an art museum I see these well-done paintings by the masters and some do portray very obese women in nature settings.
Then I have to endure some docent who raps on forever about how in the old days men loved fat women, and being fat was the sign of beauty.
I believe that these paintings are actually the world's first cartoons, and are meant to bring humor and irony into the dreadful medieval existence.
Who's with me?
