Man seen from the Front, holding a Rope in his right Hand 1531 - 1590

This 16th-century engraving by Giulio Bonasone, titled "Man seen from the Front, holding a Rope in his right Hand," exemplifies the Renaissance fascination with anatomy and the human form. The detailed depiction of the male figure's musculature, rendered through meticulous cross-hatching, demonstrates the artist's skill and the period's scientific curiosity. This print, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring legacy of anatomical studies in the visual arts.
