Joni works out {Original 3D Art}

Peter Paul Rubens has always been one of my favorite artists. Peter Paul Rubens is probably just as well known in the English world today due to his affirmation of the beauty and sensuality of the plus-sized woman. Rubens was born June 28, 1577 and spent most of his life in Antwerp, Flanders. He lived in Italy from 1600-1608. Rubens was very fond of voluptuous and plump women and he featured them wherever possible in his paintings. It was fashionable for women at the time to carry some weight, and Rubens helped in the idealization of this as the womanly figure. Actually, Rubens took it to a whole new level, making it the standard in all his work. The adjective we still use today, “Rubenesque”, is used to describe plump, voluptuous, curvaceous women in a flattering way.
