This guide to the proportions of the human form is a reformatted
reproduction of the famous but hard to find work by Johann
Gottfried Shadow. It includes images of plates engraved by John
Sutcliffe from the English translation, and images of the original
German plates. The original was a huge book, each plate was 24" by
19" for this version the large plates were photographed to
reproduce them on a single page, but also reproduced in sections so
they can be seen as large as possible. It includes an introduction,
a history of the study of human proportion and a description of the
plates plus the original German plates reproduced on single pages.
Schadow based based his work on the pioneering work of the Greek
Sculptor Polycletus who both wrote a treatise on human proportion
and sculpted a figure to illustrate his work. Polycletus was among
the creators of classical Greek sculpture, famous for his
naturalism.
