| Caption | Dissections of the male urogenital system. Colour mezzotint by J F Gautier d'Agoty after himself, 1754. Jacques Fabien Gautier d'Agoty, published a series of anatomy plates using a colour mezzotint process which had first been developed by Jacob Christoph Le Blon (1667–1741), in whose workshop Gautier d'Agoty had served as an assistant. In 1737, Le Blon obtained a copyright to publish a complete colour anatomy atlas, which never appeared. To Le Blon's process, which used the three colours of red, yellow and blue, Gautier d'Agoty added black and claimed the process to be his own invention. Plates in the Anatomie générale were executed by D'Agoty after both his own dissections and after those by JC Mertrud (as in this particular case). Created 1754. Human anatomy. Contributors: Gautier Dagoty (1717–1785). Work ID: rg43exax. |
