We are all familliar with the myth of plump women being attractive

>Biologically this seems impossible,

Well if it's true and "seems impossible," then I guess you don't understand biology as well as you think you do.

Most of the women depicted by Renaissance era painters were generally women of the nobility or landed gentry. If one was able to spend their money on such a frivolity then it stands to reason that they were among the wealthier members of Renaissance society. Now you have to remember that noble/rich families of the time commissioned such works not just for their own egos but also as a display of their family's prestige and wealth. These paintings would be displayed in their villas and palaces for guests and servants to view and presented an idealized version of the person and their family. As part of this display women and many men too were portrayed as being rather plump, though not outright overweight, not necessarily because it was considered attractive per se, but because it demonstrated that they weren't lacking in food and, by extension, wealth.

You probably meant Baroque. Anyway, as far as I know, Rubens complained in some of his letters that he couldn't find thinner models.

plump women are still attractive
overweight not so much

as you grow older you aquire a taste for curves, not for uncontrolled flab though

>he can't understand that people in different times and cultures think differently
You are literally retarded

Yeah when I think of plump women in art I can only think of Rubens. I can't think of any other examples but plenty of counter-examples like Titian.

What exactly is "biologically impossible" about it?

>>2555910
If by plump you mean thiccc, then yeah thic girls are very biologically attractive because they show strong signs of fertility. Way moreso than skinny or even "fit" girls. If by plump, you mean whales, then no, that was never a norm.

All these girls are thic, not fat all by; especially by today's standards. Girls with very healthy amounts of body fat. Completely normal. They're anywhere near sjw fatties.

Throughout history l, plumpness in both men and women was a sign of health, wealth and therefore afluence; anddl therefore attractiveness. Hence they were painted and desired to be painted ad such. Plain and simple.
