Abstract

This illustrated volume examines the different methods artists and anatomists used to reveal the inner workings of the human body and evoke wonder in its form. For centuries, anatomy was a fundamental component of artistic training, as artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo sought to skillfully portray the human form. In Europe, illustrations that captured the complex structure of the body spectacularly realized by anatomists, artists, and printmakers in early atlases such as Andreas Vesalius's De humani corporis fabrica libri septem of 1543' found an audience with both medical practitioners and artists. Flesh and Bones examines the inventive ways anatomy has been presented from the sixteenth through the twenty-first century, including an animated corpse displaying its own body for study, anatomized antique sculpture, spectacular life-size prints, delicate paper flaps, and 3-D stereoscopic photographs. Drawn primarily from the vast holdings of the Getty Research Institute, the over 150 striking images, which range in media from woodcut to neon, reveal the uncanny beauty of the human body under the skin.https://www.amazon.com/Flesh-Bones-Anatomy-Monique-Kornell/dp/1606067699

Abstract

Explores the origins and impact of the most famous book in the history of medical science and a key product of the Italian Renaissance: Andreas Vesalius’s De humanis corporis fabrica (1543). Andreas Vesalius’s fame derives from his writing of what is perhaps the most famous book in the history of medical science, De humanis corporis fabrica (1543), a treatise that within a few years transformed the imperfect art of anatomy into a modern science. This extraordinary work, however, came into being not just because of its author’s genius and industry, but for other reasons that remain (despite a vast body of scholarship) inadequately explored. These questions, the historical moment from which they stem, and the setting in which Vesalius produced the Fabrica, form the core of this volume. Some of these significant factors include the short time during which De fabrica was produced, the debated authorship of its illustrations, and its immediate and subsequent impact on the teaching of anatomy. The book’s significance within the context of present-day views of its historical value, and the ever increasing fascination it evokes among scholars and collectors alike, are also examined.

Abstract

Het uitdragen en visualiseren van de eigen lokale of regionale geschiedenis werd in de late middeleeuwen en de vroegmoderne tijd als een belangrijke taak van literatuur, beeldende kunsten en architectuur beschouwd. Als bronnen werden niet alleen de klassieke schrijvers gebruikt, maar ook middeleeuwse kronieken, lyriek van de minnezangers, (echte en vervalste) inscripties en archeologische voorwerpen, en bovendien ruïnes uit allerlei periodes die men veelal op een creatieve manier interpreteerde. Monumentale gebouwen, of de resten daarvan, golden bij uitstek als bewijs van de grootsheid en ouderdom van de voorouders.
