Note: "The mannequin, or lay figure, was a ubiquitous presence in the artist's studios from at least the Renaissance, but its use was rarely explicitly acknowledged in paintings, drawings or sculpture until the nineteenth century. Indeed, it comes as a surprise to realize that many of the greatest artists used models of this kind - from Michaelangelo and Titian to Poussin, Gainsborough, Degas, Courbet, the Pre-Raphaelites and Cézanne. For the sculptor, the mannequin was as much a workshop tool as the mallet, chisel and stool and was at the same time the 'flipside' of the living model; inert, more docile and much more obliging'.
