The Anatomical Waxes by Clemente Susini of the University of Cagliari
From the Preface: "Susini's anatomical waxes are wonderful works. The harmony and beauty of the shapes reproduced with unrivalled technical perfection, the classical composure of the expression, the refined matching of the colours balanced with skilled moderation, removed what is macabre in preparation from corpses whilst leaving all the anatomical truth; reality is transfigured by the great Artist and the anatomical models rises to the dignity of a work of art."
