Anatomy of Man 2 - Item #605

  10 Inches High x 5.5 Inches Wide x 5.5 Inches Deep The wax original of this écorché was thought to have been sculpted by Michelangelo, though today it is attributed to the French sculptor Pierre Puget (1620-1694). If so, it is possible he could have created it with reference to an earlier work made by Michelangelo, one of his students, or someone working in his style. It has been a popular art study piece for centuries; it was drawn and painted by Vincent van Gogh in the 1880s.   Artist: Attributed to Pierre Puget Museum: Bode Museum, Berlin Time Period: Baroque 1911 Catalog ID # - 21007   Sources: Köster, Berthold and Erik Tjebbes. "Van Gogh's plaster models examined and restored." Van Gogh Museum Journal, 1997-1998, pp. 68-75. Digital Library of Dutch Arts, https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199701_01/_van012199701_01_0007.php.  Shell, Oliver.
