Full description
A new history of the medieval illustrations that birthed modern anatomy.
This book is the first history of medieval European anatomical images. Richly illustrated,
The Art of Anatomy in Medieval Europe explores the many ways in which medieval
surgeons, doctors, monks, and artists understood and depicted human anatomy. Taylor
McCall refutes the common misconception that Renaissance artists and anatomists such
as Leonardo da Vinci and Andreas Vesalius were the fathers of anatomy who performed
the first human dissections. On the contrary, she argues that these Renaissance figures
drew upon centuries of visual and written tradition in their works.
