Human Anatomy, Anatomy plates for artists
"If the artist has no precise knowledge of the skeleton, he runs the rist of drawing bones and limbs out of place; when he first sketches the lines of the skeleton of the figure, he is able to straightforwardly draw in the muscles and garments" -thus wrote Leonardo Da Vinci. This volume is dedicated to the study of human anatomy. It distinguishes itself for its special appearance. Inspired by the layout of anatomy texts of the late nineteenth century, the volume consists of 48 loose plates plus an explanatory text. Each plate is numbered and indicates both the part illustrated and its anatomic name; in this way, the plates may be used independently of the text and a reading opportunity is offered to those who wish to broaden their knowledge of anatomy. The illustrations, which are remarkable for their precision and value, are rendered mainly in pen and are inspired by or taken from nineteenth century iconographic material. Because intended for artistic purposes, which is the priority of the volume, more attention has been given to those parts of the anatomy that are visible on the surface of the body, especially in illustrating the bone structures and muscles that contribute most to shaping the human figure. In accordance with the aims of this volume which is not meant specifically for students of anatomy, the choice of terminology is geared more towards easy comprehension and function than strict scientific definition. The extremely precise nature of the illustrations, which are intended primarily for the use of illustrators and artists in general, makes the volume interesting also for those who require an atlas of human anatomy for professional use. The drawings are presented in a sequence which corresponds to the unfolding of the text, and first illustrate the pads of the head, the trunk and finally the upper and lower limbs. The bone and muscle of each of these parts are examined.
