This superb anatomical engraving is taken from Icones Anatomicae; Iconum Anatomicarum Explicatio by Leopoldo Marco Antonio Caldani.

Icones Anatomicae is a major anatomical work published in multiple volumes. The first edition was released in parts between 1801 and 1814. The full title translates to Anatomical Images; Explanation of the Anatomical Plates.

The atlas is renowned for its detailed copperplate engravings, which depict various aspects of the human body. It includes illustrations of organs, tissues, and other anatomical structures. These meticulously crafted images were designed to serve as a comprehensive visual guide for medical students, professionals, and researchers.

A pupil of Morgagni, Leopoldo Caldani succeeded his teacher as professor of anatomy at the University of Padua, where he had already held the chair of theoretical medicine. In his later years, he was assisted in publishing his anatomical works by his nephew, Floriano Caldani, who was also a professor in Padua.
