Portret van Franz Joseph Gall 1816 - 1833

"Portret van Franz Joseph Gall" is a lithograph created by Pierre Roch Vigneron between 1816 and 1833. The artwork depicts Franz Joseph Gall, a renowned German physician and physiologist who founded phrenology, a now-discredited theory that claimed personality traits could be determined by the shape of the skull. Vigneron's detailed portrayal captures Gall's likeness with a focus on his facial features and expression. The lithograph is a testament to the legacy of Gall and his influential, albeit controversial, theories.
