Imagery From the History of Medicine

Imagery From the History of MedicineVery small but interesting collection with annotations.

"Crisostomo Martinez: "Lamina XVII", engraving, Paris, 1685.

Martinez was both anatomist and artist. He studied anatomy in Valencia but made this and other plates in Paris, a city he unfortunately had to leave in 1690, accused of espionage. This engraving appears twenty years after Newton's discovery of gravity. These remarkable figures with transparent flesh display a life of leasure, playing with a plumb line as well as an apple. Shown here is the upper half of the engraving (the lower half shows samples of loose bones exhibited as in a museum)."
