Anatomical Artistic Body Dissection Dissections Drawings Human Printers Skeletons
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from the three-volume set "De dissectione partium corporis humani" or "On the Dissection of the Parts of the Human Body," published in Paris in 1546. The work was authored by Charles Estienne, a doctor of medicine, and the anatomical illustrations were created in collaboration with Estienne de la Riue, a surgeon. The series of anatomical drawings in this print represent a significant contribution to the history of medical illustration. At a time when direct observation of the human body during dissection was limited due to religious and ethical restrictions, these detailed and accurate depictions provided a valuable resource for medical students and practitioners. The image itself showcases several stages of human dissection, with various organs and structures exposed. The skeleton at the bottom left serves as a point of reference, highlighting the relationships between the bones and the muscles, nerves, and vessels that attach to them. The meticulous artistic rendering of the anatomical structures adds to the overall appeal and educational value of the work. The publication of "De dissectione partium corporis humani" marked a crucial moment in the history of anatomy, as it was one of the first comprehensive and accurate records of human anatomy. The work laid the groundwork for future advancements in the field, paving the way for more detailed and precise anatomical illustrations and dissections in the centuries to come.
