Europeans used to idealize thicker/curvier women in the past, particularly in those Baroque paintings. What changed in the 20th century where slimness became the ideal across the West?

They never did, you are mentally ill and trying to justify your fetish. Artist who painted fat women were fetishists seeking to create content to satisfy themselves, not the public. Normal people didn't need to create that type of art because they could simply look around and see beautiful women everywhere.

This is disgusting, what kind of a porn artist deliberately draws a 3/10?

Probably because of romanticism and a will to go back to an ancient/early middle age vision of feminity. There is some kind of contradiction between love and curvy forms

I hear that widely abundant food wasnt a thing till the 20th century. Might have changed the perception people had towards fatter people who were probably seen as healthier in the past

God is a retarded tranny who accuses me of thinking about fat women if I think about women with remotely large (C-D cup) breasts or the slightest muscle mass, he accuses me of thinking about a specific retarded rat ogre pig bitch literally no matter what kind of woman I think about because he's a retarded delusional tranny

Being fat used to be a sign of being rich whereas now the inverse is ironically more often the case

Rubens is well known to have gone far past the usual level of plumpness in his paintings of women. He was almost certainly just a dude with a fat fetish. Most historical people's ideals of beauty weren't really that far removed from our own, aside from perhaps favoring a somewhat less toned physique and less emphasis on breast size.

For instance, the three women in this picture are intended to be the goddesses Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera, competing with one another to see which is judged the most beautiful of all. Suffice to say, they are intended to reflect what 1500s people would perceive as peak beauty, and none of them are anywhere close to being fat.

And as a further example of what I mean, here is a painting depicting the same event, again featuring Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera, but painted sometime in the early 1st century. Notice how they're also basically the same in terms of body type, slim enough to still be seen as attractive by today's standards.

Who cares about women. The moment you put them on a pedestal they take over like parasites.

Give Eros back you stupid cunts!

So where did the fetish for large breasts on women come from?

Protestantism is involved with many of the crises of representation in art or something like that
