Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828), German physiologist. Gall believed that the brain's shape was related to mental capacity and that different parts of the brain controlled specific parts of the human body. Gall also believed that this shape could be deduced by measuring the shape and bumps of the skull. From this he developed a new science, called phrenology, which was later discredited. Gall was banned from lecturing in Vienna because his materialistic philosophy was considered subversive of religion. This artwork is by the French engraver Francois Seraphin Delpech (1778-1825).
