Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth guide to human anatomy as it pertains to artists. Written in the 18th century, the author argues that artists should know the inner workings of the body to draw and paint with greater accuracy. The book describes the anatomy of people in various positions, including running, walking, and jumping. Crucially, the book also delves into human emotions and how they manifest physically, showing artists how to portray them in their work. It draws upon the authorâs extensive knowledge of both art and medicine, urging artists to study surgical practices. This blend of art and science provides a unique perspective not found elsewhere in the era and makes this book an enduring resource for artists today.
