EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 119. Descending Incline, Right Hand on Breast (Shoes)" was taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge between 1872 and 1885. The image is a collotype print on paper, measuring 23.5x31.9 cm, and is currently housed in the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. The photograph belongs to Muybridge's groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" which was published in 1887 as a comprehensive study of movement captured through stop-motion photography. This particular plate is from Volume III, focusing on women in various motion sequences. In this striking image, we see a nude female figure gracefully descending an incline or slope with her right hand resting gently on her breast while wearing shoes. The sequential frames freeze each moment of her descent, allowing us to observe the fluidity and beauty of her movement. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of motion and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. His meticulous studies not only contributed to advancements in science but also created stunning works of art that continue to captivate viewers today. This print serves as a testament to Muybridge's mastery as both an artist and scientist while showcasing the timeless allure of the human form in motion.
