Duchennes physiognomy studies, 1860s
Duchennes physiognomy studies. Man with a facial expression induced by electrical probes applied by French neurologist Guillaume Duchenne (1806-1875). Duchenne used the new technique of photography to record what he thought were idealised facial expressions that revealed the emotions of the soul. Stimulated here are the zygomaticus major and nasalis muscles. Photograph from the 1876 edition of Duchennes Mecanisme de la physionomie humaine (The Mechanism of Human Physiognomy, 1862). This work was subtitled: The Electro-Physiological Analysis of the Expression of the Passions, Applicable to the Practice of the Plastic Arts
