The artist, Anna Utopia Giordano, re-did these paintings to how the beauty standards that we have today would have been portrayed by Botticelli. It does make you think about the wrong way in which consider our ideals. A full figure was praised once upon a time, only to be distorted and stretched to uphold an ideal we have today for women. (It certainly makes it less interesting to look at, I find.)
