Wax relief plaque of a man, Italy, 1701-1800 |
||
| Description |
The man shown in this curious wax plaque is scratching his head and body. Described as either depicting a ‘lunatic’ – a term once used to describe someone with a mental illness – a person with plague, or a man afflicted by lice, little is known about the origins of this plaque. Depicted in an almost comic style, it may reflect the black humour of the sculptor at a time of many and varied threats to individual health. maker: Unknown maker Place made: Italy Wellcome Images |
