5968 Andreas Vesalius (1514–1564) – Of the Muscles and Bones – Woodcut (17th Century)
This detailed woodcut print, titled "Of the Muscles and Bones." and marked "LIB. G.", depicts two human skeletons in dynamic poses, each leaning on a staff. Below the skeletons, a detailed legend in English refers to various bones and muscles. This illustration is a 17th-century adaptation from Andreas Vesalius's seminal work, "De humani corporis fabrica" (On the Fabric of the Human Body), reflecting the anatomical knowledge and artistic conventions of the period.
Andreas Vesalius (1514–1564) was a groundbreaking Flemish anatomist and physician, whose work revolutionized the study of human anatomy. His "De humani corporis fabrica," first published in 1543, challenged traditional anatomical teaching through direct observation and meticulous dissection, accompanied by highly influential and detailed woodcut illustrations. Vesalius's empirical approach profoundly impacted medical science and anatomical illustration for centuries.
