EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 16th century, where we find ourselves in an anatomy theatre. Created by Jacques de Gehyn the Elder in 1633, this engraving offers a glimpse into the world of science and medicine during that time. The scene is bustling with activity as a crowd gathers around a dissection table. A surgeon, surrounded by eager medical students, meticulously examines the skeletal structure of an animal - specifically, a dog. The intricate details of each bone are brought to life through de Gehyn's skillful artistry. The atmosphere is filled with both curiosity and awe as onlookers witness this educational spectacle unfold before their eyes. This anatomy theatre served as a hub for learning and discovery, providing invaluable knowledge about the human body. As we delve deeper into this print, it becomes apparent that education was highly valued during this era. Medical students eagerly absorb every detail presented to them by their knowledgeable teacher. The importance of understanding the inner workings of the body is evident in their focused expressions. Jacques de Gehyn's work not only serves as a historical record but also highlights humanity's eternal quest for knowledge and understanding. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people were driven by curiosity and dedicated themselves to unraveling the mysteries held within our own bodies.
