Summary
Édouard Dantan, an artist known for his masterpiece "A Casting from Life," is hailed for his painting capturing two sculptors molding a plaster casing from a beautiful, nude model. This article examines the historical significance of surmoulage in art, from Rodin's controversial life-sized "The Age of Bronze" to 20th-century photorealist sculptors and other artists who used casts as finished sculptures.
