Experienced photo retouchers make small fortunes by Photoshopping models and celebrities to make them appear even thinner and more youthful than in real life.

In this video, Deke McClelland travels to a time when ideas of beauty were very different: the High Renaissance, when body fat was a thing to be envied. Deke takes the ample proportions of Raphael’s Maddalena and transforms her into an eye-popping (in more ways than one) woman with much less meat on her bones. And if Maddalena can meet current standards of beauty, anyone can!
