Poster Print : Franz Gall, German physiologist
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Franz Gall, German physiologist
Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828), German physiologist. Gall believed that the brains shape was related to mental capacity and that different parts of the brain controlled specific parts of the human body. Gall also believed that this shape could be deduced by measuring the shape and bumps of the skull. From this he developed a new science, called phrenology, which was later discredited. Gall was banned from lecturing in Vienna because his materialistic philosophy was considered subversive of religion. This artwork is by the French engraver Francois Seraphin Delpech (1778-1825)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned German physiologist, Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828), whose groundbreaking theories revolutionized our understanding of the human brain. Gall firmly believed that mental capacity was intricately linked to the shape of one's brain and that specific regions controlled different aspects of the body. To support his claims, he developed a controversial science known as phrenology, which aimed to decipher these shapes by examining skull bumps and contours. The artwork itself is an exquisite creation by Francois Seraphin Delpech (1778-1825), a talented French engraver who skillfully captures Gall's essence in this historical illustration. The monochromatic tones lend an air of sophistication to the piece, emphasizing its significance within both medical and scientific realms. However, despite his contributions to neuroscience, Gall faced significant opposition due to his materialistic philosophy being deemed subversive towards religion. This led to him being banned from lecturing in Vienna during his lifetime. Although phrenology was later discredited as a pseudoscience, it remains an important chapter in the history of medicine and science. Through this thought-provoking image, we are transported back in time to witness the remarkable journey undertaken by Franz Joseph Gall—a man whose ideas challenged conventional wisdom and paved the way for future advancements in physiology and anatomy.
