He adds that he has made frequent reference to the 'Gladiator repugnans' or 'Warrior of Agasias' (the ancient sculpture, generally known as the 'Borghese Gladiator' or 'Borghese Warrior'); an écorché of which he presents as his Plate 4. This famous work was praised by other writers on anatomy, such as Cowper, Salvage and Del Medico. |
