15th Century Dissection Historical Image Imagery

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century woodcut print takes us back in time to an anatomical lecture at the prestigious University of Padua, Italy. The scene unfolds with the professor standing tall in his ornate professorial chair, undoubtedly delivering a riveting lecture to a group of students below. However, it is clear that not all eyes are fixed on the dissection taking place before them. Intriguingly, a technician diligently carries out the delicate task of dissecting while being closely observed by a demonstrator who points out various details using his wand. This demonstration aims to enlighten and educate these somewhat disinterested students about the intricacies of human anatomy. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the historical significance of medical education during this era. It showcases both the advancements made in understanding human anatomy and also highlights how teaching methods have evolved over time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we cannot help but marvel at its intricate details and appreciate its contribution to our understanding of medical history. It stands as a testament to the dedication and perseverance required for scientific progress throughout centuries past. This historical image transports us into an era where medicine was still shrouded in mystery, yet brave individuals sought knowledge through dissection and observation. It reminds us that every step forward in science builds upon those who came before us – their struggles, discoveries, and unwavering pursuit for truth.
