Anatomical figure – écorché

Sculpted by Pierre Franqueville (Pietro Francavilla, Petrus a Francvilla), the statuette is one of the three models recorded in the collection of the Jagiellonian Library as early as 1783. Pietro Francavilla (1547–1615) was a Franco-Flemish sculptor who worked in Italy. The man, as an écorché anatomical model, is skinless so his tendons and muscles are clearly visible. Écorché models were widely used by artists to practice drawing and to improve their knowledge of the human body. **For more images and further information, visit:** https://muzea.malopolska.pl/en/objects-list/2849 Inventory number: 3916; 19/III Localisation of the physical object: Jagiellonian University Museum Collegium Maius, Kraków, Poland **Digitalisation: Regional Digitalisation Lab, Małopolska Institute of Culture in Kraków, Poland; "Virtual Museums of Małopolska" project** Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
