Artistic Anatomy (1884)

Artistic Anatomy is a comprehensive guide to the study of human anatomy for artists, written by Mathias Duval in 1884. The book is divided into two parts: the first part covers the bones, muscles, and joints of the human body, while the second part focuses on the study of the surface anatomy and the proportions of the human figure. Duval's approach to the subject matter is both technical and artistic, providing detailed descriptions and illustrations of the anatomical structures, while also emphasizing the importance of understanding the human form in order to create accurate and expressive works of art. The book includes over 200 illustrations, including drawings and photographs, as well as numerous diagrams and charts to aid in the study of anatomy. Artistic Anatomy is a valuable resource for artists, illustrators, and anyone interested in the study of human anatomy. It provides a thorough and detailed examination of the human body, and offers practical advice and techniques for artists to apply in their work. The book has remained a classic in the field of artistic anatomy, and continues to be a popular reference for artists today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
