Anatomical study of the skull carved Gavilán

Abstract

As can be seen by inspection of the original, as well as the accompanying photographic reproductions, D. BALTAZAR built a skull almost completely filled all the anatomical and artistic demands. "The skull as DUVAL says should be studied by the artist not only from the point of view of the outer forms, but as often contained object by way of fitting into a composition", had been well known and dominated by Gavilan theme of his work. The estimation of this colonial work, whose analysis we wanted to make a contribution to the National Anatomy, grows even when you think that the author was not a "physical" of the time, even a poor student of anatomy, but a makeshift devotee of sculpture.
