UnknownFrench School, Academic Study (Male Nude)
About the Item
Charcoal on paper, 60cm x 42cm, (74cm x 60cm framed). The picture is framed behind museum quality non-reflective UV glass.
Drawings and paintings of the nude were central to academic art training in Europe from the 16th century onwards. The practice of repeatedly drawing the nude, and particularly the male nude, has its roots in the Italian Renaissance. Bodies were drawn standing, sitting, kneeling, curling up or stretching, in movement or at rest, sometimes tightly framed. They are shown from front and back, in three-quarter profile and from high and low angles. And, while all the drawings reflect the same essential study of the nude model – his anatomy, musculature and as a three dimensional form – the choice of position adopted reflect particular concerns, such as the sense of movement in a figure, muscle tension and balanced proportions, powerful musculature or the technique of foreshortening and perspective. This practice, started as a student, would continue throughout an artist's career.
