I saw this on YouTube and thought it was fantastic. 500 years of women in art in the west. I managed to recognize some of the portraits but the rest were unrecognizable, I am sure that is because of my ignorance of art. What struck me the most was the change in what we would call beautiful, the women are mainly chubby with full round faces, they look so much more healthier than the stick thin beautiful of today. The question was how much really does art/media affect our idea of beauty or any other thing in general. Definitely in yesteryears people were not constantly bombarded with images from TV, movies, magazines, billboards and music videos, and lets not forget the internet. I loved the video, but I thought the merging of the portraits could slow down just a tiny bit. Enjoy !

I liked the morphing of the images in it so much, I dunno how do they do this.
And yes, I also believe that our idea of beauty is affected by art, such as paintings, tv series, or even advertisements
Me too I loved it.
But I feel that modern female presentations were not really accurate, lately many views about women were changed, right?
They sure have, not only in physical appearance but also in terms of roles and rights. Women themselves now view themselves differently too.
