foreshortening

Prohibition's End or the Death of Dutch Schultz by Robert Morris.  While we did not study this artist in our text book I was struck with replication of Andrea Mantegna The Dead Christ.  The image is almost identical except for for the hair length and more sunken facial feature.  The stigmata on the feet are also missing.  Other than those three slight difference the concept is of "man" is the same.  While the leg are shortened it still creates a more realistic version.  The overall concept is not to make the lower extremities look cartoonish.  The dimensions of the feet give the viewer a realistic point of view.
