- chrisco255 3y agoYeah it mentions Raphael's Catherine of Alexandria, yet the woman depicted is heavily clothed with no delts in sight: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_of_Alexandria https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_of_Alexandria
- gostsamo 3y ago> Pockets of Michelangelo’s artwork show that not all of his women possessed overt male qualities. He drew a female nude in preparation for his painting of the Entombment, and one need look no further than his sculpture of the Pietà to be persuaded that he could depict a woman with feminine attributes very convincingly. Instead of being for the sake of propriety or tradition, Michelangelo likely used male models and created masculine depictions intentionally.
