EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Two Views of the Head, 1746" takes us back to the 18th century and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of anatomy. Created by Jacques Fabien Gautier Dagoty, this piece is Plate 4 in his renowned work on myology, "Myologie Complette en Couleur et Grandeur Naturelle". The image showcases two detailed views of the head, meticulously capturing every muscle and structure with precision. Through color mezzotint technique, Dagoty brings these anatomical diagrams to life, allowing us to explore the complexities of the human body. As we delve into this artwork's historical significance, it becomes evident that it played a crucial role in advancing scientific knowledge during its time. The French artist collaborated with Joseph Guichard Duverney, an esteemed physician and anatomist from France. Together they shed light on various components such as the esophagus, larynx, gullet, and throat. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific exploration. Its presence within The Met's collection highlights its cultural value and contribution to our understanding of human anatomy. Through this visual representation created by Jacques Fabien Gautier Dagoty centuries ago, we are reminded of how art can intertwine with science to unravel the mysteries hidden within our bodies.
