Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Medical illustrators offer a unique and valuable contribution to scientific, medical, and health publications. However, they are not always properly acknowledged. This issue existed in the 16th century when Andreas Vesalius produced his revolutionary atlas the Fabrica and failed to recognize his artistic colleagues. This essay examines the atlases by Vesalius, Bernhard Siegfried Albinus, and William Hunter and the historical contexts in which they were produced, in order to reach some understanding of why the creators of the timeless illustrations contained in these atlases did not receive greater recognition. |
