Compelling and alluring, The Anatomical Venus - Wax, God, Death, and the Ecstatic presents a host of deftly crafted dissectable female wax models and 'slashed beauties' created to demonstrate anatomy in museums and fairgrounds around the world in the 18th and 19th centuries. Incisive commentary reveals the evolution of the enigmatic an sensual sculptures from the death masks, was effigies, and votive offerings of the Renaissance, and later to artist's muse, erotic fetish, and the embodiment of the uncanny.
