- The Illustrated Human: the Impact of Andreas Vesalius - Renaissance anatomist and physician Andreas Vesalius (December 1514 - June 1564), revolutionized the study and practice of medicine by his careful descriptions and anatomical studies of the human body. Basing his observations on dissections he performed himself, he authored the first comprehensive textbook of anatomy, De humani corporis fabrica libri septem ("On the Fabric of the Human Body in Seven Books"). Published in 1543, the Fabrica was the most extensive and accurate description of the human body of its time. Most likely drawn by colleague Jan Stephan van Calcar, the Fabrica is widely known for its illustrations where skeletons, and bodies with exposed muscle structure, pose in scenic pastoral settings. This exhibit celebrates this seminal work and the life of its author.
