EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Design: Proportions of the Laocoon Statue," is a meticulous anatomical study created by the French artist A.J. Defehrt in the late 18th century. The work is derived from the famous Laocoon and His Sons group, an ancient Roman marble sculpture discovered in 1506, which is now housed in the Vatican Museums. Defehrt's anatomical drawing is an intricate etching with engraving on cream laid paper, showcasing the intricate details of the musculature and proportions of the figures in the Laocoon group. The artist, who was a contemporary of renowned French encyclopedists like Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert, contributed several illustrations to the prestigious Encyclopédie project. The Laocoon group depicts the Trojan priest Laocoon and his sons being attacked by serpents sent by the god Neptune as a punishment for warning the Greeks about the Trojan Horse. Defehrt's anatomical study offers a unique perspective on the classical sculpture, revealing the underlying structure and form of the figures, which is essential for understanding the artistic techniques and principles of the time. This work is a testament to Defehrt's exceptional draftsmanship and his deep understanding of classical art and anatomy. The black-and-white image conveys a sense of timelessness and historical significance, making it an essential addition to any art collection or research library focusing on classical art, anatomy, or the history of art.
