Ambroise Paré was an eminent French surgeon, anatomist, and one of the fathers of modern surgery. His extensive collected works, Les Oeuvres d'Ambroise Paré, compiled his groundbreaking surgical practices and anatomical knowledge. These volumes often included historical portraits of influential medical figures like Galen, reflecting Paré's deep respect for his predecessors and his position within a long tradition of medical inquiry.
