ART: THREE GRACES BY PETER PAUL RUBENS

i know, i know its a huge kind of difference as to what i normally recommend to you but since i am an art major, i cant help but let you people see what kind of things i actually learned in school and since i've been getting quite adventurous with my new found appreciation to Baroque paintings, i'd like to share the greatness that is found within the paintings of Peter Paul Rubens.

Mr. Rubens...


the painting that i chose to show you is called THE THREE GRACES. its not really something that you'd see everyday and it really holds a special place in my heart.



i love this painting because of how Rubens was able to capture true beauty. its not synthetic, its not fake, it shows that women shouldn't always look thin rather it encourages people women especially to embrace who they are. to accept that we come in different forms and shape. i think i dont need to elaborate more on why i really love this painting and if you google the works of Rubens you'll see that almost all the women in the paintings are shown as voluptuous and curvy.
