EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "Three Studies of Ecorches" a masterpiece created by Paulus Pontius in the 17th century. The image, preserved at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, takes us back to Flanders during a time when science and art intertwined. The engraving presents three dissected bodies meticulously rendered by Pontius. With skilled hands, he captures every intricate detail, revealing the inner workings of human anatomy. This artistic exploration reflects both scientific curiosity and an appreciation for beauty even in death. Pontius' work pays homage to his mentor Peter Paul Rubens, as evident through his use of light and shadow to create depth within each body. The ecorche studies serve as a testament to their shared passion for anatomical accuracy. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print, we are transported to a different era where concepts like life and death were explored with fervor. It serves as a reminder that art has always played an essential role in understanding our own existence. Through this powerful visual representation, Pontius invites us into the world of dissection chambers and medical discoveries from centuries past. We are left contemplating not only our physicality but also our place within history's continuous pursuit of knowledge. This print is more than just an artwork; it is a window into humanity's unending quest for understanding ourselves - both inside and
