Analysis of Female Beauty (1834)

""Analysis of Female Beauty"" is a book written by Wilson Flagg in 1834 that explores the concept of beauty in women. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part discussing the principles of beauty and the second part focusing on the different features of the face, such as the eyes, nose, and mouth. The third part of the book examines the body, including the shape of the torso, limbs, and hands.Flagg's analysis of female beauty is based on his observations of classical art and his own experiences as an artist. He argues that beauty is a combination of symmetry, proportion, and expression, and that these elements can be found in both the natural world and in art.Throughout the book, Flagg uses detailed illustrations and diagrams to support his analysis and provide examples of his principles of beauty. He also includes a series of exercises and suggestions for readers to improve their own sense of beauty and aesthetics.""Analysis of Female Beauty"" was a popular book in its time and remains a valuable resource for artists, art historians, and anyone interested in the history and theory of beauty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
