Fleshing out Surfaces: Skin in French Art and Medicine, 1650–1850 (Rethinking Art's Histories)

by Mechthild Fend (Author)

Synopsis

A strong and insightful work which argues that skin is not just any surface an artist can represent, but a highly overdetermined one. Focusing on five French painters - Fragonard, David, Girodet, Benoit and Ingres - it spans the fields of history of art and of medicine. -- .
