”SKIN&ART” INTERNATIONAL PROJECT

Presented at the 53rd annual ESDR meeting 4-7 September 2024 in Lisbon

We are excited to present our project, “SKIN&ART”. While famous paintings have been studied , we firmly believe that every museum worldwide, whether local or national, ouses lesser-known or even unknown artworks depicting various skin diseases.

Our project’s objective is to conduct a retrospective diagnosis of skin diseases represented in artworks. The plan is to gather iconographic material from paintings and sculptures found in museums across different countries, accompanied by concise medical/anatomical descriptions.

We kindly request your valuable collaboration in identifying artworks within your museum that may depict “skin disorders.” If you are aware of such pieces, we kindly ask that you provide us with a general photograph of the artwork, a close-up image of the pathological area, and the corresponding caption. This information will enable us to conduct a thorough analysis and propose a diagnosis, including any potential pseudo-pathology.

Please feel free to reach out to us with any uncertainties or for further clarification regarding the project. Your contribution and insights are highly valued and appreciated.

We extend our sincere gratitude in advance for your attention and cooperation in this collaborative endeavor.

How to Contact Us ?

Please, send us information and photos about paintings with skin defects to the following e mail address : peaurigami@gmail.com

We’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention.
