living sculptures, painting, engraving, sculptoric representation, PygmalionAbstract
This essay seeks to draw attention to a type of unusual representation that has gone quite unnoticed. In some paintings and prints from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries depicting sculptures, they seem alive. The myth of Pygmalion is excluded here, because the article focuses only on images in which the narrative does not require to depict the statue as if it were animated.
