Look, I dont know a lot about saints and Catholicism, but I know St. Agatha is always depicted with her breasts on a plate, and that’s sure something
Just a few more. This is a big trend.
Things I learned from the comments
She’s a patron saint of rape and abuse victims
She took a vow a chastity
A low born guy demanded her to be with him and she turned him down
For this she was imprisoned and tortured. This is how she lost her breasts (details not required)
She was repeatedly raped.
The Catholic Church regards her as a virgin for her peity despite the rape. (No matter your views on virginity this is a pretty interesting statement)
She was sentenced to death to burn at the stake but was saved by an earthquake
In her holiday people make titty cupcakes
I didn’t know she existed and now I think she’s a pretty rad woman. I would hesitate calling her a protofeminist as some often do with amazing women in history but she is pretty cool. Also she’s still very relevant today as women are still treated the way she was.
other things i learned: damn historic artists drew a woman with her own tits on a plate with Cleavage and prominent nip nops???
To be fair, it’s only the drawing 5th from the bottom that really has that problem. #7 also has too much cleavage. But the rest are pretty flat/well-draped.
Whoever is responsible for the bottom painting… too much detail. Just the plate is fine.
Hey, Catholic Church: you really have to be tortured to count as keeping your virginity if you were raped? Oh, wait. You probably just have to be a long-dead saint. If you’re a living woman, the presumption is always going to be that you did something to invite it.
