I was interested in finding out classical artists who painted large women, or classical paintings of larger women (such as Ingres Turkish bath house).
If anyone knew of specifics that would be great. Thanks!

" "Rubenesque" (referring to the art of Peter Paul Rubens, known for portraying full-bodied women) is probably the closest synonym (for voluptuous). "Full figured" has a more straightforward connotations, whereas "voluptuous" and "zaftig" usually connote ripeness, sensuality, ample bust and wide hips."

The artist Titian is one of my favorites. He painted one that I adore... Venus reclining, I think it's called.
