1760 Albinus Anatomist Body Human Muscle Muscles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th-century print depicts the intricately detailed muscles of the human body and head as depicted by the renowned German anatomist, Johann Friedrich Meckel the Elder, based on the groundbreaking work of his teacher, Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne, and the anatomical studies of Albinus. Dated circa 1760, this exquisite illustration showcases the muscles of the head and neck, as well as the muscles of the trunk, upper and lower limbs, and the back. The intricate interplay of lines and shading reveals the complex structure of each muscle, providing an unprecedented level of detail and accuracy for the time. Albinus, whose full name was Albrecht von Haller, was a Swiss physician and scientist, widely regarded as the father of modern physiology. His seminal work, "Anatomiae corporis humani tabulis illustratae," published between 1703 and 1716, was a comprehensive atlas of human anatomy that set a new standard for medical illustration. This print is a testament to the meticulous research and dedication of Albinus and his contemporaries, who sought to advance the understanding of the human body through rigorous anatomical study. The intricate interplay of lines and shading in this print reveals the complex structure of each muscle, providing an unprecedented level of detail and accuracy for the time. The delicate balance of form and function is beautifully captured, offering a fascinating glimpse into the scientific discoveries of the 18th century. This print is a must-have for anyone with an interest in anatomy, history, or the art of scientific illustration.
