EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print, titled "Design: Facial Anatomy," is an exquisite example of 18th century anatomical art from the Encyclopédie, a groundbreaking encyclopedia published in France between 1762 and 1777. Created by renowned French anatomist Benoit-Louis Prevost, this intricately detailed etching with engraving on cream laid paper provides a close-up view of the human face, focusing on the intricacies of the facial anatomy. The print showcases a meticulously rendered diagram of the face, highlighting the various features and structures, including the eyes, nose, and facial muscles. Prevost's masterful use of contrast and shading brings the complex network of nerves, veins, and bones to life, revealing the beauty and complexity of the human body. The print is a testament to the scientific and artistic achievements of the Enlightenment era, blending the disciplines of anatomy, art, and illustration. It is a fascinating assortment of conceptual and visual elements, offering a glimpse into the intellectual and artistic milieu of 18th century France. This rare and valuable print is a must-see for anyone with an interest in anatomy, art history, or the history of science. It is currently housed in the esteemed Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
