admires, Peter Paul Rubens. Rubens represents the epitome of the standard notions of the "baroque". His own fleshy, eroticized figures exist in a world of exuberance and plenitude in both the realms of the sacred and the profane. Like Rubens, Botero is an individual whose intense engagement with the world around him enriches his perceptions, heightens his discernment of both the material and spiritual nature of specific things, places and people.

It does not seem to be true that Caravaggio, as stated by Giovanni Bellori, “advanced the art of painting”. At first, based off of Caravaggio’s primary contribution to art, tenebrism, one may conclude that he was an innovative painter of his time.

Who decides what a woman should look like? Wislawa Szymborska’s poems “Rubens Women,” “Portrait of a Woman,” and “Over Wine” begin to answer this question.
