EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly realistic wax sculpture, titled "Model of a man whose throat has been cut" transports viewers to the world of anatomical exploration in the 18th century. Created by Clemente Susini, a renowned Italian sculptor, this piece is housed in the Museo della Specola in Florence, Italy. The attention to detail is astonishing as every sinew and blood vessel is meticulously crafted. The artist's mastery shines through as he captures the delicate intricacies of human anatomy with precision and accuracy. This model serves as an educational tool for medical students and anatomists alike, providing them with a tangible representation of the inner workings of the neck. The lifelike quality evokes both fascination and unease within its spectators. It stands as a testament to the advancements made in medicine during that era while also serving as a reminder of our mortality. The juxtaposition between beauty and morbidity forces us to confront our own fragility. Photographed by eRaffaello Bencini, this image preserves not only Susini's artistry but also highlights his contribution to scientific knowledge. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how far we have come in understanding human anatomy while appreciating the skill and dedication it took to create such an intricate masterpiece. This print offers us a glimpse into history—a time when art merged seamlessly with science—and invites us to contemplate our own bodies' complexities.
