Anatomical model of an "écorché" or "flayed man" - Plaster - Late 19th century
An unusual anatomical model of an "écorché" or "flayed man" in plaster.
25 cm High x 15 cm Wide x 15 cm Deep
Numbered 838
The wax original of this écorché was thought to have been sculpted by Michelangelo, though today it is attributed to the French sculptor Pierre Puget (1620-1694). If so, it is possible he could have created it with reference to an earlier work made by Michelangelo, one of his students, or someone working in his style. It has been a popular art study piece for centuries; it was drawn and painted by Vincent van Gogh in the 1880s.
