Drawing of human venous system (Leonardo da Vinci)
Venous system. Drawing of a " venous figure" by Leonardo da Vinci, taken from his Anatomical note- books. This standing figure with its expressive sad face shows the blood circulation (veins) and some body organs. Dated about 1494, it is an early drawing by da Vinci, before he had access to dissection. The anatomy is therefore in places incorrect such as the circulation around the heart and liver, oddly shaped kidneys, and ureters not entering the urinary bladder. Veins in the arms and legs are fairly accurate. Anatomical practice at this time was to portray the " tree of the vessels" against " spiritual parts" (the liver and heart). Da Vincis " mirror" writing is seen

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 print showcases Leonardo da Vinci's drawing of the human venous system, taken from his Anatomical notebooks. Created around 1494, this early artwork by da Vinci provides a glimpse into his exploration of the human body before he had access to dissection. The standing figure depicted in the drawing features a sorrowful expression on its face, effectively conveying both emotion and anatomical details. While some inaccuracies exist due to limited knowledge at the time, such as peculiarly shaped kidneys and incorrect circulation patterns around the heart and liver, the veins in the arms and legs are remarkably precise. Da Vinci's unique approach involved portraying the "tree of vessels" against what he referred to as "spiritual parts" namely the liver and heart. One intriguing aspect of this image is da Vinci's use of mirror writing, which can be observed within his annotations. This distinctive characteristic adds an additional layer of fascination to an already remarkable piece. As we delve into this historical image, we gain insight into da Vinci's relentless pursuit of understanding human anatomy through artistry. This print serves as a testament to his genius and enduring legacy in both scientific inquiry and artistic mastery.
