S I R. With the greateft refpeft. Your obedient humble fervant, J OHN. W A LKER, £ ■PR..E- C E. J A ^HE human body being the moft common, as ■"*“ well as the moll noble fiibjeft of the arts of Sta- tuary, Painting,. Engraving, &c. a general knowledge of the Anatomy of it is abfolutely necef- fary for thofe who wifll to be eminent in the arts. The antients entertained fo high an opinion of this knowledge, as to efteem it the hiqS elfential qualifi- cation ©f a good painter or flat nary. And among the moderns, Michael Angelo, Raphael,. Bacchio Band!- nelli, Daniel Volterra,, Pierrino del Yaga, Roffo of Florence, Francifco Salviati, and others, have been,, indebted for the firmnefs of their defigns, to their Ikill in Anatomy.. It may, by feme,, be thought unneceffary to load' the mind with a critical ftudy of Anatomy ; yet it " is certainly true, that it is impoffible to make a juft, and perfect outline, even from the life itlelf, without this knowledge ; becaufe, not knowing the office of the mufcles, the art id cannot tell which ought to ap- pear dwelled, and which not, that depending on their cffice and abtion. To evince this truth, w r e will con- fider the nature of the mufcles, and of rnufcular mo- tion. A mufcle is compofed of a great number of fleflfy fibres, like threads, running parallel to each other, wrapped up and kept toother by one common membrane ; its middle is fiefhy, its origin and infer- tion generally tendinous ; and this iafl: being fixed to a bone, draws it towards the place of the origin of the [ 5 p T? F P R ERA C E.- mufcle. When the mufcles a ft, they contra ft hi length, and fwell in thicknefs and breadth ; confe- quenfly, in every attitude,; thofe. rnnf£ies : -viill' feem mod: lwelled, and their: feparation* from the neigh- bouring mnfcles appear ftrongefr, that aft in fringing the body to that’ attitude, while the Other inufcles will appear comparatively flat : but as no living model can continue any length of time in the attitude wherein he is, placed, and before the artift has iiniihed his fketch, he grows weary, the mufcles become languid and hat, and he is obliged to have recourfe to a cord or ftaff,. to fupport himfelf in the attitude required. When this is the cafe,, notwithftanding the body and limbs may remain in nearly the fajpe pofition, yet the muf- cles that properly belong to the. aftion are not the moflRvelied, but thofe that aft in making ufe of the cord' or half for the fupport, for which differences a painter ought to be able to account, and treat his fub- jeft accordingly. A young artifi fhouM endeavour -to obtain a free- dom of handling, and a tolerable knowledge ..of light and fliade, by drawing after figures of plainer of Paris, and then apply himfelf to the ftudy of Ana- tomy, fo far as it relates to his profeffion. By this means he will profit more by drawing after life in one feafon, than otherwife he could do in many years. / The want of proper affiitance on this fubjeft is the principal reafon why Anatomy is fo little itudied by painters, &c. To remedy this difficulty, a fliort. folio trea life was publifhed by Mr. Tinney fome years ago, find recommended to all the ftudents at the Royal Academy by the late keeper, Mr. Mofer ; but that being tco large for ufe there, it is the delign of this' to ?' REF A C E. 7 %) remove that inconvenience, as it is nearly the fame, and contains the external mufcles of the human body, explained in a concife, yet fo clear a manner, that whoever will apply himfelf attentively to it for a fhort time, may attain inch a knowledge of Anatomy, as may be of the greatefl fervice to him in the profecn- tion of his fludies. In the fludy of Anatomy, the belt method a young artift can follow, is to learn the names, fiiape, pro- portion, fituation, and manner of the bones joining each other ; the fhape and iituation of the mufcles ; their names, origin, infertion, and life ; afterwards to^ compare them with fome good anatomical figure in plaifter of Paris, and to draw from it on every fide ; and, lafHy, to compare his performances with the life, by fetiing a very mufcular man in fuch attitudes as will belt fhew the mufcles he is in doubt about. The figures in this work are taken from thofe well- known anatomical works of Albinus, Cowper, and; Vefalius, except the firft of the mufcles, which is. from an original drawing made by the late Mr. A. Walker, of the figure differed by the late Dr. Hun- ter, for the Academy, (at that time in St. Martin’s Lane) before the mould was taken, in which the figure now at the Royal Academy was call ; and they; have all been corre&ly examined and compared with Ithe bell anatomical figures. j The figures, by being cleared of the fkin, the fatty fmembrane, the nerves, veins, and arteries, fhow the Aufcles more perfeftly ; and if ftudied with atten-* mon, will be of the greateft affi.ftance to young artifis, and all others who wifli to be acquainted with drawing and defign, Th fthe following- Letters of RefmLhcc fttve 'foi' alAbe Skeletons 4.. ~fy: Os .fronds, or bone of the fore- head. f>.
