EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Interiorum corporis humani partium viva delineatio," is a masterpiece from the second edition of the Compendiosa totius anatomie delineation, published in 1555/59. The creator of this intricate work is attributed to the Monogrammist R.S. The image presents a lift-the-flap illustration, revealing the intricate and complex inner workings of the human body. The Latin phrase "Nosce te ipsum" ("Know thyself") is inscribed at the top, emphasizing the importance of self-knowledge, particularly in the realm of anatomy. The black and white, monochrome print showcases the arterial and venous systems in exquisite detail. The arteries and veins are depicted as they wind and intertwine, illustrating the intricate network that facilitates the circulation of blood throughout the body. The image includes both male and female figures, highlighting the universality of the human anatomy. This historic print is a testament to the scientific advancements of the 16th century and the artistic skill of its creator. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art center and gallery, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the heritage of human anatomy and the art of the past. The woodcut is executed on ivory laid paper, with cut and tipped ivory laid papers, adding to its antique charm and value. Despite being over 400 years old, the intricacy and detail of the print remain as captivating as ever, making it a must-see for anyone with an interest in anatomy, art, or the history of science.
