EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are presented with a hauntingly detailed "Study of a Flayed Torso" created by the talented Italian artist Bartolommeo da Arezzo in 1554. This remarkable artwork showcases the artist's mastery in capturing human anatomy and his unwavering commitment to realism. The intricate lines etched onto the paper reveal an incised drawing technique, executed with pen and brown ink as well as brush and brown wash over traces of black chalk. Every sinew, muscle, and bone is meticulously depicted, showcasing the inner workings of the human body. The flayed torso appears suspended in space, inviting viewers to examine its raw vulnerability. Bartolommeo da Arezzo's study reflects not only his technical skill but also his deep understanding of Renaissance ideals that emphasized scientific observation and anatomical accuracy. By dissecting the human form on paper, he aimed to unravel its mysteries and explore its complexities. This particular print is housed within The Cleveland Museum of Art's prestigious collection.
