EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable drawing by the legendary Leonardo da Vinci, titled "Longitudinal section of an onion and sections of the human head, eye and orbit". Created around 1490 during the Renaissance period, this intricate diagram beautifully combines elements of biology, medicine, and anatomy. Leonardo's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this artwork as he masterfully depicts both the external features and internal structures of these subjects. The drawing reveals a longitudinal section of an onion alongside sections of the human head, eye, and orbit. It serves as a testament to Leonardo's insatiable curiosity about nature's wonders. The inclusion of an onion may seem peculiar at first glance; however, it highlights Leonardo's scientific approach to understanding anatomy. By comparing natural forms like onions with human structures such as the brain or eye, he sought to unravel their similarities and differences. This piece not only reflects Leonardo's brilliance but also his influence on various fields like ophthalmology and medical illustration. Its historical significance lies in its contribution towards advancing our knowledge of human anatomy during a time when such studies were still in their infancy. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork today, we are reminded that Leonardo da Vinci was not just an artist but also a visionary scientist who pushed boundaries through his relentless pursuit for knowledge.
