Joelle Steele

4.9/5 (10320 ratings)

Description:Before the advent of photography in 1839, many paintings and sculptures of famous people throughout history did not always accurately portray their true faces. Some wealthy and influential people, including royalty, had multiple portraits made that barely resembled each other. So what did these people really look like? Author and anthropometrist Joelle Steele was curious to know, so she examined and compared more than 65 famous faces in paintings, sculptures, engravings, old coins, life and death masks, facial reconstructions, photographs, and written descriptions to answer the question. The results are not always simple and straightforward, but it's an interesting trip through the art and science of portraying the human face in history. This book includes chapters on the roots of portraiture, life and death masks, facial reconstructions, sculptures, drawings and paintings, authenticating identities, and comparing art and photographs, and it has 370 B&W photographs and illustrations, a glossary, bibliography, and index of names. 120 pages, 5.5" x 8.5", perfect paperback.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
