I visited the Birmingham Museum of Art over in Birmingham, AL today. They have a very good selection of European paintings from the Middle Ages through the renaissance period and some relatively recent ones from the 19th and 20th centuries. I couldn't help but notice that many painters liked to paint feet in detail. Each painter seemed to paint the same general shape and type of feet, I guess the kind that he liked best. My personal favorites were from French painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau, painted in the 1880's http://www.artsbma.org/collection/spotlight-on-the-collection/item/914-august-2013-spotlight

Yes, a lot of "old master" paintings have great views of feet. One in particular shows Venus reclining on a bed. Her legs are in a position showing off her soles very nicely! Don't remember the painter, right now.
