Damn, a lot of these give off a suggestion if having zero muscle tone. Like they never even walked quickly.

It is possibly a true. Painters were a part of city class -  like merchants and bankers. Women of this class were rich enough to do nothing by themselves.  Woman with any muscle tone were considered hard-working,  therefore non-wealthy,  therefore no-dowry, therefore uninteresting for men. So,  city class women should be well-fed since childhood to find a good party. Look at daughter of Jacob Jordaens:

And this is Helen,  wife of Rubens, when she was 16:

I hope this tradition will inspire you on some wonderful stories.

Lol, love this one:

 

"Girl, you've got cankles. Let's go running finally."

"Please, I've got food coming."

I have to chortle at all the depictions of Aphrodite as a chuby milf with no taper to her waist at all, like a high school hottie who got knocked up senior year and never lost an ounce of baby weight.

The only ones that are better to me are ones of Athena in the previous updates, where her flabby arms look like they'd have trouble picking up Aegis.

Peter Paul "Fat chicks in painting" Rubens

 

If you see European Renaissance 1600-something painting in baroque style, with a flabby naked girls and muscled men, that must be Rubens or some of his students. He is a central person of Dutch golden age and also he had run a big and prosperous studio. So, if you will find somewhere else this works related to Hendrick van Balen,  Frans Snyders, Antoon van Dyck, just remember that they worked as one team.

So, P.P. Rubens part 1

All the girls have tiny tits considering how fat they are.

Interesting observation.  You'd think, with as big as everything else is on some of those women, there'd be a few more DDs represented in classic art.  Genetics haven't come THAT far in the past hundred years or so. 

Maybe bigger butts with smaller busts was the rage back then...

Eh, I'm kinda into that look! For various reasons. I think it tends to be a bit underrated.

Yeah, I guess it was an idealized look back then. I wonder why though. If they idealized bigger girls as a symbol of fertility you would think they would prefer big breasts too, and not those mosquito bites. Personally I love that look though. I love it when a small-breasted girl gains weight but her breasts remain the same. It's a rare treat.

It was two beauty standards running against each other.

Women tended to get pregnant early and often then, well noble women did peasantry tended to wait until they were stable etc. this meant big boobs tended to droop early and there weren't good bras to give an illusion of them being pert. So if your tits were saggy or big you looked old. Roman women even bound their breasts in hopes they wouldn't grow!

Conversely, a woman was supposed to be fertile so some wide hips and a bit of tummy in a time of frequent famine meant she was well fed and fecund, with some medieval dress styles emphasizing a belly bulge.

That said a young woman wasn't supposed to be fat, her limbs were supposed to be lean, but her stomach was expected to have some pudge on it.

Beauty standards were always weird.

Beautiful art. TRUE ART. Noticed these painting since I was a teen no joke. Found out about Reubens while browsing encyclopedias and his work peaked my interest in thicker women. 

London Andrews was one of the first online gals I discovered back in the day that reminded me of the women from his paintings.

Your bas-relief reminded me of the mermaids from the fence of the Annechkov Bridge in St. Petersburg.
