Présentation de l'éditeur
Schonheit und Fehler der rrienschlichen Gestalt requires little introduction either to the scientific or to the artistic world in this country, for his name has been closely associated with the progress of human physiology in all its branches for upwards of forty years, and during the whole of his professional career he has applied much of his knowledge and power of research to the elucidation of questions of art. His love for art doubtless an inheritance from his father, who was a distinguished painter of portraits and historical pictures was brought into service as early as 1846, when he was elected teacher of anatomy in the A kademie der Kiinste, in Berlin ;and since this time his innumerable contributions to scientific literature have been interspersed with important essays bearing upon the subject of his predilections.
