Summary
In 1622, three young women were approached by a well-known artist, Peter Paul Rubens, seeking them as models due to their beauty and plumpness. Despite the contemporary preference for slimness, Rubens was fascinated by the texture and color of the women's skin, showcasing their voluptuous figures in dramatic, thrilling action in his paintings.
