Book excerpt: A gifted yet controversial anatomical teacher, Robert Knox (1791-1862) published this remarkable study in 1852. It explores the influence of anatomy on evolutionary theories and fine art respectively. The first part of the work discusses the lives and scientific insights of the eminent French naturalists Georges Cuvier (1769-1832) and Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1772-1844). Rejecting the explanations offered by natural theology, Knox maintains that descriptive anatomy can give answers to questions surrounding the origin and development of life in the natural world. The latter part of the book is concerned with the relation that anatomy bears to fine art, specifically the painting and sculpture of the Italian Renaissance. Entering the debate about the importance of anatomical knowledge in art, Knox focuses on 'the immortal trio' of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael. Henry Lonsdale's sympathetic biography of Knox has also been reissued in this series.

Download or read book The Anatomist written by Bill B. Hayes and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2007-12-26 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic medical text known as Gray’s Anatomy is one of the most famous books ever written. Now, on the 150th anniversary of its publication, acclaimed science writer and master of narrative nonfiction Bill Hayes has written the fascinating, never-before-told true story of how this seminal volume came to be. A blend of history, science, culture, and Hayes’s own personal experiences, The Anatomist is this author’s most accomplished and affecting work to date. With passion and wit, Hayes explores the significance of Gray’s Anatomy and explains why it came to symbolize a turning point in medical history. But he does much, much more. Uncovering a treasure trove of forgotten letters and diaries, he illuminates the astonishing relationship between the fiercely gifted young anatomist Henry Gray and his younger collaborator H. V. Carter, whose exquisite anatomical illustrations are masterpieces of art and close observation. Tracing the triumphs and tragedies of these two extraordinary men, Hayes brings an equally extraordinary era–the mid-1800s–unforgettably to life. But the journey Hayes takes us on is not only outward but inward–through the blood and tissue and organs of the human body– for The Anatomist chronicles Hayes’s year as a student of classical gross anatomy, performing with his own hands the dissections and examinations detailed by Henry Gray 150 years ago. As Hayes’s acquaintance with death deepens, he finds his understanding and appreciation of life deepening in unexpected and profoundly moving ways. The Anatomist is more than just the story of a book. It is the story of the human body, a story whose beginning and end we all know and share but that, like all great stories, is infinitely rich in between.

Download or read book Flesh and Bones written by Monique Kornell and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated volume examines the different methods artists and anatomists used to reveal the inner workings of the human body and evoke wonder in its form. For centuries, anatomy was a fundamental component of artistic training, as artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo sought to skillfully portray the human form. In Europe, illustrations that captured the complex structure of the body—spectacularly realized by anatomists, artists, and printmakers in early atlases such as Andreas Vesalius’s De humani corporis fabrica libri septem of 1543—found an audience with both medical practitioners and artists. Flesh and Bones examines the inventive ways anatomy has been presented from the sixteenth through the twenty-first century, including an animated corpse displaying its own body for study, anatomized antique sculpture, spectacular life-size prints, delicate paper flaps, and 3-D stereoscopic photographs. Drawn primarily from the vast holdings of the Getty Research Institute, the over 150 striking images, which range in media from woodcut to neon, reveal the uncanny beauty of the human body under the skin
Download or read book A Manual of Artistic Anatomy written by Robert Knox and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-28 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE. The brief Manual, on a matter of national importance, which I now venture to submit to public criticism, is simply the completion of an idea entertained by me for nearly a quarter of a century. From the time, indeed, that I first taught anatomy, or rather I ought to say, studied anatomical "shapes, their import or signification, their relations to each other, and their artistic, philosophic, and utilitarian aspects, I felt convinced, instinctively as it were, that the true relation of anatomy to art, meaning Fine Art, had been misrepresented and misunderstood. But it was not until I had visited the galleries of the Louvre, and looked attentively at the Elgin Marbles, that I was in a position to support this view with an appeal to demonstration. The Manual now completed is simply an attempt to demonstrate the true relations of anatomy to art; to show the influence which the interior of man exercises over the exterior; and, therefore, in so far is simply a school-book. But has school-books should, if possible, be progressive, I have ventured to add to the elementary matter contained in Part I. a second and a third section, in which will be found a sketch of the nature of form as the grand element of beauty; a theory of the beautiful; and an analysis of the principles which must ever form the basis of a correct taste. I have ventured to recommend a perusal of these sections to amateurs; by whom I merely mean the general public. The remark has been often made that, in respect of works of art, there are two parties to be considered, namely, the artist and his patrons. Should the latter happen to be low in taste, of utilitarian tendencies, purely and simply; mechanical, plodding, fond of substituting a model conventionalism for nature, the lot of the artist must ever be an unhappy one. To secure fair play for him, his patrons also ought to be lovers of true art, or be at least made sensible that there exist amongst them persons who are so. In brief, it is not the artist alone who requires instruction, -it is the public. Above all, it ought to be clearly shown to them that Posterity-the living embodiment of Time's progress and work on earth-will pass a stern, impartial, and irrevocable judgment on those nations despising literature, science, and art, whom they will class with barbarians, however powerful they may have been politically, however wealthy and luxurious. The future historian will, it is to be presumed, criticise the present times as we do the Coptic, Greek, and Roman eras of civilization. Let us hope that, in so doing, some future Gibbon may not discover "that Britain was a land from which a love of nature and of truth had been expelled, -a fact proved by the absence of all artistic monuments of a lofty and ennobling character." But further than this "hint to patrons," the work has no further pretensions than what its title-page indicates....
