EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Physiognomical studies" offers a glimpse into the groundbreaking work of French neurologist Duchenne de Boulogne. Published in 1876, this image is part of his renowned book "Mecanisme de la Physionomie humaine ou analyse electrophysiologique des passions" which delves into the intricate mechanism behind human facial expressions. In this photograph, we see a female subject wearing a mask as she undergoes an experimental procedure involving electrical stimulation. The sorrowful expression on her face reveals the depth of emotion that can be evoked through these scientific manipulations. Through his research, Duchenne aimed to understand how different muscles contribute to various emotions and ultimately sought to uncover the secrets hidden within our physiognomy. This portrait not only captures the suffering experienced by the subject but also showcases Duchenne's pioneering contributions to both psychology and physiology. His work laid the foundation for modern plastic surgery techniques and provided valuable insights into neurological disorders related to facial expressions. The photograph itself exudes an air of mystery, with its stark contrast between light and shadow emphasizing every contour of pain etched onto the subject's face. It serves as a testament to both artistic beauty and scientific exploration, reminding us of humanity's relentless pursuit in unraveling the complexities of our own emotions.
