Remembering Hogarth
William Hogarth The Analysis of Beauty (London 1753), note Hogarth’s assumption of classical precedent for the serpentine line [p.92]:
...which taste, I am persuaded, my reader will now conceive to have been entirely owing to the perfect knowledge the ancients must have had of the use of the precise serpentine-line.

Shi* has replied to Christel Ehretsmann clubWhy do we find this serpentine-line so beautiful?
- Do we have the sensation of beauty because the female backline is shaped like this? So that we find women with this backline attractive?
- Or is the similarity of the female backline with the precice serpentine-line a coincident?
- Or is it the other way round, and we find this line beautiful out of a deeper reason (What?), and the female body adapted to that archetypical attractiveness?
