The Ecorche was presented to the Academy`s students when he was accepted into the French Academy as a Professor. This Ecorche, meaning literally, "flayed skin", was a study for "St.John the Baptist". This copy has no arms, but, i am on a mission to acquire the arms and to resurrect the tradition of drawing from Houdon`s famous unequalled "L`Ecorche". Please find on the second page various links, some containing differing versions of the Ecorche, most notably in the inclination of the arms. the version pictured here, i believe was used mostly in academic schools through out Italy, as the original from what meagre sources i have gathered over the Web, suggest that the Ecorche , originally did have the support that braces the left leg. This "brace" or armature is quite vital if it`s to be used by students If you would like to contact me please use the above address inserted among my slowly growing Japanese translation. Copies made from a silicone mold can be ordered cheaply, please enquire at the above email addresses. |
