JOS SCHIPPERS (1868-1950) 'La bosse d'intelligence/ Antropologie', 1906. Oil on panel (mahogany). Signed and dated 'Jos.Schippers/ 1906'. Title, signature and date on back. This expression finds its origin in phrenology, a pseudoscience that was developed in the 19th century by the German physician Franz Joseph Gall. According to his theory, various mental faculties and character traits were localised in specific areas of the brain. When a particular faculty was strongly developed, the corresponding area of the brain increased in size, which led to a visible or palpable distortion of the skull (a 'bump'). Provenance: Van Herck, 1974-1975 Dimensions: 40 x 32 cm (54 x 47 cm)
