History of the Écorché | by Anatomy For Sculptors

Let’s dive into the history of the most notable écorchés! Did you know that Houdon’s écorché was just an anatomy study for his sculpture of St. John the Baptist? Visit anatomy4sculptors.com to read more on this.

Today, the original sculpture is destroyed, but Houdon's écorché has become world-famous and is found in almost every art academy! But it is not the only one worth knowing.

L’écorché combattant made in 1845 by sculptor Jaques-Eugene Caudron and commissioned by doctor Antoin-Louis-Julien Fau is one of the best écorchés out there, and it deserves a spotlight.

While Houdon’s sculpture is static, L’ècorchè combattant shows a lot of complex movements. It’s an excellent tool for studying the form of tense and relaxed muscles.
