I apologise if you find my title ambiguous, but when I went to Italy earlier this year, I could help but be filled with euphoria at the size of the women in the paintings. While many of them aren't 'fat', per say, they are not these stick creatures whose waist is about 3 inches and whose thighs don't touch. In this painting by Raphael, you can see for yourself, she is NOT fat, but actually a real women!! I'll be damned if that's not what most women actually look like. So I guess this is my little tribute to the kick-ass Italian (and I'm sure other painters I'm not educated enough to know of) artists, who appreciate and immortalised the true figure of women. YOU GO!!
