Johann Kaspar Lavater was a Swiss poet, theologian, and art critic. He is best known for his work on physiognomy, the art of judging a person's character from the appearance of their face. Lavater believed that facial features could reveal personality traits and morality, and his publications on the subject had a significant influence on 18th-century European thought.
