EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George Stubbs' "Study of the Human Figure, Anterior View" from his renowned comparative anatomical exposition. Created between 1795 and 1806, this graphite drawing on cartridge paper measures 54x41 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art in the Paul Mellon Collection. The image depicts a meticulously detailed study of the human body's anterior view, revealing its intricate muscular structure. Stubbs' expertise as an anatomist shines through as he captures every nuance with precision and accuracy. The flayed figure stands facing forward, arms slightly extended to either side, showcasing the proportions and symmetry of the limbs. This artwork not only serves as a testament to Stubbs' artistic talent but also highlights his dedication to scientific exploration. By comparing human anatomy with that of a tiger and a common fowl, he offers viewers a unique perspective on our shared biological makeup. With its roots firmly planted in both artistry and medicine, this piece transcends time. It provides us with insight into eighteenth-century scientific advancements while reminding us of our own mortality. A true masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences today, it invites contemplation about our bodies' inner workings and serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between life and death
