Cesare Lombroso was an Italian criminologist, physician, that using concepts drawn from physiognomy, early eugenics, psychiatry and Social Darwinism, coincived a theory that essentially stated that criminality was inherited, and that someone "born criminal" could be identified by physical defects.
Lombroso published The Man of Genius in 1889, a book which argued that artistic genius was a form of hereditary insanity. In order to support this assertion, he began assembling a large collection of "psychiatric art". He published an article on the subject in 1880 in which he isolated thirteen typical features of the "art of the insane". Although his criteria are generally regarded as outdated today, his work inspired later writers on the subject.
