The heads of Franz Xaver Messerschmidt

As busts seem to be a popular subject in Zbrush I though a few of you might like to see the work of Franz Xaver Messerschmidt.

A search showed he hasn’t been mentioned before so maybe this is a recondite corner of the art world and net that even Frenchy hasn’t seen? :wink:

Messerschmidt was an 18 century ‘German’ sculptor who towards the later half of his career and life embarked on a study of the human head and its expressions.

Unfortunately the pictures are quite small but I hope some might enjoy them any way :slight_smile:

So much for the search eh :rolleyes:

But at least it meant I got to see Ken’s red heads.

Looking at 10+ pages of posts I am now wondering what treasures are buried within.
