EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George Stubbs' "Study of the Human Figure, Posterior View, with skin and underlying fascial tissues removed". Created between 1795-1806, this graphite masterpiece measures 54.3x40.6 cm and is housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. Stubbs, a renowned anatomist and artist from England (1724-1806), meticulously captured the intricate internal anatomy of the human body in this work. The removal of skin and fascial tissues reveals a detailed exploration of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones that lie beneath our exterior. The composition is part of Stubbs' larger project titled "A Comparative Anatomical Exposition of the Structure of the Human Body with that of a Tiger and a Common Fowl" emphasizing his fascination with comparative anatomy across species. This particular piece focuses on understanding human physiology by juxtaposing it against other creatures. Through his artistry, Stubbs not only contributes to medical knowledge but also creates an exquisite work of art that seamlessly blends science and aesthetics. His attention to detail highlights his mastery as both an anatomist and an artist. This print allows viewers to appreciate Stubbs' genius up close while contemplating the complexities hidden within our bodies. It serves as a testament to how art can illuminate scientific understanding while simultaneously evoking awe-inspiring beauty.
