When we decided to study the history of art with our children as part of
their homeschooling I did not realize that the course of this study

what modern media presents as a beautiful, attractive woman and what
neoclassical, baroque, romantic, realist, etc. art portrays as
beautiful. Through looking at these paintings I have learned to value
the beauty of women and to truly be thankful for the way that God made
me.
