First published in 1793, "The Peculiar Life History of F. X. Messerschmidt", describes this bust as “Ein Erhängter” (A hanged man). Despite the rope around his neck, the figure depicted seems far from lifeless. Messerschmidt may be alluding to the controversial methods of his contemporary, Franz Anton Mesmer, a physician and healer who was personally acquainted with the sculptor. In Paris, Mesmer treated patients with “nervous disorders” using so-called baquets—wooden tubs filled with “magnetized water” from which iron rods and ropes protruded. Patients applied these to specific parts of the body to relieve their symptoms. Messerschmidt may have learned of such treatments in Pressburg/Bratislava through printed accounts.Sculpture112904744386Upper Belvedereimage/jpegCC-BY-SA 4.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/Foto: Johannes Stoll / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/65362/fullimage/jpegCC-BY-SA 4.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/Foto: Johannes Stoll / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/65363/fullimage/jpegCC-BY-SA 4.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/Foto: Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/5318/fullimage/jpegCC-BY-SA 4.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/Foto: Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/5317/fullmodel/gltf-binaryIn CopyrightFotogrammetrie: Belvedere, Wien https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/165291/fullhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-4386/manifest
