Answer 2

I think that Sandro Botticelli it´s a great example of that.
Beauty and vanity seems like the perfect description for Edgar Degas and the "Prima ballerina".
Francisco Jose de Goya, Edouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and an artist from my country, Eduardo Schiaffino, his paintings are exquisite, specially "Reposo"http://www.fundacionkonex.com.ar/bienale…
