Houdingen van boogschutters in verschillende stadia van ontleding 1610 - 1640

"Houdingen van boogschutters in verschillende stadia van ontleding" (Postures of Archers in Various Stages of Dissection) is a 17th-century engraving by Antoine Jacquard, a French artist known for his anatomical illustrations. This intricate print depicts four figures, each representing a different stage of decomposition. From left to right, the figures are a skeleton, a flayed figure, another skeleton, and a fleshed figure. The figures are shown in various postures, all holding a bow and arrow, and positioned under arched structures. This artwork reflects the fascination with anatomy and death during the Renaissance period.
