EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Human Skeleton, anterior view" from George Stubbs' renowned series titled "A Comparative Anatomical Exposition of the Structure of the Human Body with that of a Tiger and a Common Fowl". Created between 1795 and 1806, this graphite on paper masterpiece measures 54x41.6 cm and is currently housed in the Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. Stubbs, an English artist who lived from 1724 to 1806, dedicated himself to scientific exploration through his art. This particular piece exemplifies his commitment to anatomical study and education. The detailed drawing presents an intricate depiction of the human skeleton as seen from its anterior perspective. With meticulous precision, Stubbs captures every bone and joint in this composition. His work not only serves as a visual representation but also contributes to medical research by providing valuable insights into human anatomy. Through this project, Stubbs aimed to compare our skeletal structure with that of a tiger and a common fowl, highlighting both similarities and differences across species. This print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the world of science through art. It invites us to appreciate the beauty within our own bodies while fostering curiosity about comparative anatomy. As we gaze upon this remarkable drawing, we are reminded of how art can transcend boundaries between disciplines by merging aesthetics with scientific inquiry.
