EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate musculature of the face, with a particular focus on the orbit of the eye. Taken from Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery's renowned "Traite Complet de l'Anatomie de l'Homme" this plate is an exquisite example of anatomical artistry. Engraved by Bernard in Paris in 1831, this color lithograph brings to life the detailed structure and complexity of facial muscles. Created by Nicolas Henri Jacob, a talented artist known for his exceptional attention to detail, this print captures every sinew and fiber with remarkable precision. The flayed head depicted in this image allows us to delve into the inner workings of human anatomy. From the socket that cradles our precious eyeball to the interconnected web of muscles that enable facial expressions and movement, we are reminded of both our fragility and resilience as living beings. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork housed within Bibliotheque de l'Institut de France in Paris, we are transported back in time to an era when scientific exploration intertwined seamlessly with artistic expression. This visual representation serves as a testament to Bourgery's expertise as an anatomist and Jacob's mastery as an illustrator. Whether you appreciate it for its scientific significance or its aesthetic beauty, this print offers a unique glimpse into our own physicality – reminding us that beneath our skin lies a complex network that defines who we are.
