Страница 20 - Myself when young did eagerly frequent Doctor and Saint, and heard great argument About it and about : but evermore Came out by the same door where in I went...
Страница 9 - Art was far in advance of medicine. The noble works of Pheidias and his contemporaries or successors were in existence long before the time when Hippocrates began the work of rescuing medicine from the priests and made a first imperfect sketch of anatomy.
Страница 10 - The earliest known drawings of an exclusively pathological character are found, strange to say, in a Japanese manuscript of the twelfth century, a copy of which is in the British Museum. * Various forms of disease of the skin are very well represented, and would seem to have been drawn from life. The most noteworthy figure is that of a man whose mouth appears to be obliterated, and who is introducing food through an aperture in the region of the stomach. A gastric fistula, the result of accident,...
Страница 16 - Anatomy there is a plate of an ccorcM tied with ropes to the branches of a tree, to keep him in the position needed to show his muscles. A subject in which anatomy is, to some extent, concerned is the much disputed one of idealism and transcendentalism in art. Cicero said that more beautiful images could be conceived in the mind than are seen by the eye, and a modern poet, in like vein, says: " Jfo true painter ever set on canvas All the glorious visions he conceived.
Страница 11 - Eome in the grounds of the Villa of Musa, who was physician to the Emperor Augustus. It is a human torso, but the front of the chest and abdomen has been removed so as to expose the viscera. The heart is situated in the very center of the thorax, and is vertical in position. It exactly corresponds to the heart described by Galen, but which we know was studied on the ape. The lungs have three lobes on the left and two on the right. The chest is human, but the contents simian. It is probable that this...
Страница 22 - ... beautiful body. He arranged the light, and, with dry eyes and firm lips, remained hour after hour painting on his canvas the lovely youth, so ruthlessly torn away, before decay should touch him. There is no doubt of the authenticity of this story, but it is remarkable that in a Latin poem by Vincent Bourne a like action is attributed to Apelles. It is probable, however, that the name is used generically for a painter, and that the incident referred to is the one just related. Cowper has translated...
Страница 13 - The word skeleton, in its original usage, meant a dead body — a dried-up corpse, a mummy — and it is most likely that at the feasts of the ancient Egyptians a mummy served as the memento mori. In the museum of the Vatican is a marble thorax which exhibits the ribs only, but very finely proportioned. It is thought that this was intended to serve a similar purpose. There was much sardonic humor in the old anatomists. In Valverde's work is to be seen an ecorche who holds a knife in one hand, and...
Страница 10 - Various forms of disease of the skin are very well represented, and would seem to have been drawn from life. The most noteworthy figure is that of a man whose mouth appears to be obliterated, and who is introducing food through an aperture in the region of the stomach. A gastric fistula, the result of accident, as in the wellknown case of Alexis St. Martin, or produced artificially in cases of stricture of the upper part of the alimentary tube, or for the sake of observing the process of digestion...
Страница 15 - Lami's theory was to represent "a living man without his skin in a given action." Another very excellent ecorche was made later by a young artist named Eugene Caudron. Attempts have not been wanting to improve the melancholy lay-figure of the studio. An ingenious method has lately been put forth by Dr. Eliza Mosher, which she calls a "posture model.
Страница 3 - Ruskin, with characteristic vehemence, has returned a decided negative to both questions. Writers on art, being human, are prone to repeat dogmatic rules, and so the assertion is very commonly made that the artist who proposes to represent the human form, whether in sculpture or in painting, must in part fit himself for his work at the dissecting table. It is the purpose of this address to endeavor to examine the matter from a historical point of view chiefly. The rise and progress of the study of...
