Answer 1

Painted the natural glory of pudgy women.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sir Peter Paul Rubens was a Flemish baroque painter. A great deal of his works were based on religious and historical motifs whereas the female figure appearing in his paintings was of a rather distinguishing nature.

The female body as represented by Rubens, is plump and voluptuous. The women depicted in his artworks are celebrated along with their imperfections which only accentuate their femininity and sensuality.

The adjective rubenesque therefore refers to plump and sensuous women as painted by Peter Paul Rubens, but is also used in everyday life to compliment a voluptuous woman's physical appearance.
