En 1775 se inauguró en el Museo della Specola de Florencia una exposición de "piezas anatómicas", es decir, representaciones plásticas de órganos humanos. La escultura más interesante de la colección es sin duda la "Venus de 'Medici". Todos los que admiraron este trabajo no se sorprendieron. La vista de estas ceras es una iniciación del hombre en el mundo de los adultos. En cuanto a los "hombres desollados", se representa un "Adán anatómico". Las diferencias son evidentes: la mujer es apasionada, personifica la suavidad y su postura es supina; el hombre es atáxico (no muestra sufrimiento), su posición es erguida y se refiere a la dureza y la verticalidad.
Abstract
In 1775, an exhibition of "anatomical pieces", that is plastic representations of human organs, was inaugurated at the Museo della Specola in Florence. The most interesting sculpture in the collection is undoubtedly the "Venus de 'Medici". All those who admired this work were not shocked. The sight of these waxes is an initiation of men into the world of adults. As far as the "skinned men" is concerned, an "anatomical Adam" is represented. The differences are evident: the woman is passionate, personifies softness and her position is supine; man is ataraxic (he does not show suffering), his position is erect and refers to hardness and verticality.
