Anatomical Studies as a Subject and Challenge in Art. Historical Outline of Anatomical Illustrations and Contemporary References

Summary/Abstract: The cooperation of scientists and artists on projects focusing on human anatomy developed with the availability of deeper direct observations, e.g. during an autopsy. Over time, the demand for showing the body grew: the wider knowledge interested medics and artists, later also viewers unrelated to medical issues. The article presents the history of the development of anatomical studies in the context of illustrations and other objects visualizing human structure. Examples of contemporary references to the tradition of anatomical illustrations in art are also presented. The article presents works based on the characteristic features of atlas exemplification, but referring to social discourses and human condition.
