Beschreibung

Neave, Richard. Ecorché sculpture in bronze of a flayed male figure holding a Neanderthal skull, signed in the bronze "R. N. 2014." N.p., 2014. 420 mm. (16.5") high (excluding wooden plinth). No. 3 of 12 examples. With artist s signed authentication. Ecorché sculpture in the Renaissance tradition, reminiscent of the famous "musclemen" from Vesalius s De humani corporis fabrica but showing much greater anatomical detail than was possible in the 16th century. Neave, a British expert in forensic facial reconstruction, has earned fame for his reconstructions of historical figures including Jesus, King Philip of Macedon and the Yde Girl, a bog body dating from ca. 54 B.C. He also collaborated with Pascale Pollier on the Vesalius monument unveiled at Zakynthos on September 4, 2014; the monument is a life-size ecorché similar to our smaller version, but holding a different skull. .
