The dissection of a young, beautiful woman directed by J. Ch. G. Lucae (1814-1885) in order to determine the ideal female proportions. Chalk drawing by J. H. Hasselhorst, 1864.

Anatomical fugitive sheet (Viscerum, 1539) bound at the end of Valverde, (Vivae imagines partium corporis humani, 1566). Part of the engraving is composed of printed paper flaps that, when lifted, reveal the internal organs of the figure. This is one of a pair of male and female figures.

1566 engraving, by Lambert van Noort, Frans Huys, Pieter Huys, Gaspar Beccera and Nicolas Beatrizet.

says:

This is the woman Leda and Zeus when he changed into a swan. Zeus, thinking Leda was beautiful turned himself into a swan, knowing Leda was faithful to her husband and wouldn’t cheat on him with a human looking person… Anyway, Leda gave birth to two eggs, both of which had two babies in them. One with two girls, one with two boys. One of the girls and one of the boys were Zeus’ kids, while the other two were her husband’s. Guess who Zeus’ daughter was? Helen!

Someone dear sent me this link from the “Paul Lafargue Internet Archive”, a few weeks ago. The text was written in 1883.

PS: Was the divine bull Apis–born of a virgin cow impregnated by the rays of the sun–not a statue ?
