Claude-Ambroise Seurat (10 April 1797[1] or 4 April 1798[2] – after 1833[2]) was a freak show attraction from Troyes, France. He was known as "the anatomical man or the living skeleton" (Шаблон:Lang-fr) due to his extraordinarily low body weight.[3][4][5]
Life
The date of Seurat's birth is uncertain, being variously reported as either 10 April 1797[1] or 4 April 1798.[2] Seurat's tours across Europe aroused controversy and because of the publicity, there was extensive interest in his life,[1] particularly from the medical establishment.[6] An account, for instance, cited that Seurat was born healthy and was normal like other children except for his depressed chest.[1]
By age 14, his health dwindled so that his frame already became skeletal in form.[1] When he visited London for a tour in 1825,[1] Seurat was described having normal height, being between Шаблон:Convert[1] and Шаблон:Cvt,[7] but with an emaciated body; at the time, he weighed Шаблон:Convert.[1] The circumference of his upper arms was Шаблон:Convert, his waist was less than Шаблон:Convert around, while his neck was short, flat, and broad.[7]
Later, in 1832, he was stated to have weighed 43 French pounds and was Шаблон:Cvt tall.[2] Seurat's last recorded performance was in 1833 at Dinan in Brittany.[2]
Seurat was also the subject of an anatomical drawing of Francisco Goya after the Spanish painter met him in 1826 at a circus in Bordeaux.
The date of Seurat's death is unknown. In 1868, Gilbert Richard Redgrave commented: "I have not yet been able to ascertain the date of his death. Who knows whether the poor fellow may not still be going the round of the French fairs?"[2]
After his death it was discovered that a tapeworm had been depriving Seurat of nutrition.[8]
