Event Details
Honoré Fragonard was one of the first medical masters of France, and his extensive collection contains rooms devoted to anatomy and terratology, articulated animal skeletons, as well as exhibits on disease and pathology. The highlight of this extraordinary museum, which openedi n 1766, is by far the écorchés, or "flayed figures" created by the master anatomist.
Fragonard was appointed by Louis XV to be a professor at the first veterinary school in Lyon, and it was there where he began working on his "flayed figures." These écorchés were carefully dissected animals which were posed and mounted using a secret process. While many of his contemporaries were creating artificial anatomical models of wax, ceramic, and plaster, Fragonard spent years preparing hundreds of these écorchés through a very difficult--and to this day secret--process similar to that of plastinisation. Though most of the items were intended to be used as educational tools, some his work is purely artistic.
Join us on Obscura Day, March 20th, for a special tour of the Fragonard, open to only 35 people. Please bring 7 euros to pay at the door.
