EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic artwork "De humani corporis fabrica (Of the Structure of the Human Body), 1555" by John of Calcar. Created in the 16th century, this anatomical study is a testament to the Renaissance's fascination with science and understanding the human body. The image captures a woodcut depiction of flayed bodies, meticulously dissected to reveal their intricate muscular structure.
