"Anatomical Pieces" is a series of paintings and lithographs by the French artist Théodore Géricault, created in the early 19th century. This body of work marks a significant departure from the grand historical and military themes for which Géricault had previously been known, such as his masterpiece "The Raft of the Medusa." Instead, "Anatomical Pieces" delves into the realm of medical illustration, presenting a stark and unflinching examination of mortality and the human body.

The series consists of a number of close-up studies of body parts and severed limbs, which Géricault produced during a period of intense study at the Beaujon Hospital in Paris. The artist was granted access to the morgue and anatomical theaters, where he could observe and sketch cadavers and anatomical dissections. This experience allowed Géricault to explore the textures, colors, and forms of the human body in a state of decay, with a level of detail and realism that was unprecedented in the fine arts of his time.

Géricault's "Anatomical Pieces" are characterized by their clinical detachment and precise rendering, reflecting the influence of Enlightenment science and the growing interest in empirical observation. The works are devoid of the romanticism and emotional drama that typified much of Géricault's oeuvre, instead presenting the viewer with a dispassionate record of the body's physicality. Despite their scientific underpinnings, the pieces are not devoid of artistic merit; they exhibit Géricault's skillful use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to imbue even the most macabre subjects with a sense of aesthetic fascination.

The "Anatomical Pieces" were not widely known or exhibited during Géricault's lifetime and were largely ignored by his contemporaries. However, they have since gained recognition for their contribution to the intersection of art and science, as well as for their influence on later artists interested in the representation of the human body. Today, the series is considered an important part of Géricault's body of work and is studied for its historical significance as well as its technical mastery.
