Fragonard Museum. The écorchés. The anatomical masterworks of Honoré Fragonard by Christophe Degueurce. With an essay by Laure Cadot. Translated from the French by Philip Adds.
New York: Blast Books, 2011.
The painter and printmaker Fragonard preserved the results of his dissections via means never divulged, but which may have been based on those of Jean-Joseph Sue. His pieces were often prepared for theatrical effect rather than scientific exhibition, as can be seen in the surviving pieces in the Musée Fragonard d'Alfort.
