{"product_id":"fragonard-museum-christophe-degueurce-9780922233397","title":"Fragonard Museum: The ﾉcorch駸","description":"Eighteenth-century anatomist Honor  Fragonard's  corch s--preserved dissected real animal and human cadavers--are extraordinary works of virtuosic skill that have survived nearly two and a half centuries in the Fragonard Museum in Alfort, on the outskirts of Paris. Like the superb anatomical preparations made by the renowned seventeenth- to eighteenth-century anatomist Frederik Ruysch, Fragonard's specimens challenge our understanding of historical science, Western culture, and the display of the dead. A desiccated rider mounted atop a galloping horse, wondrous demonstrations of animal anatomy: these impressive spectacles of permanently preserved bodies are still on display in the stunning collection of the Fragonard Museum. Intriguing, strange, and the rarest of rare, Fragonard's  corch s are specimens from a realm that exists between art and science and are the historical precursor of modern-day plastinated anatomical specimens popularly exhibited worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christophe Degueurce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 092223339X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780922233397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blast Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.50h x 8.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Christophe Degueurce","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44159228084479,"sku":"9780922233397","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49ff245a-c84e-46b8-b5b1-1e45bdef8aed.jpg?v=1689081357","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fragonard-museum-christophe-degueurce-9780922233397","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
