Thoracic aorta, 1825 artwork
Thoracic aorta. Dissection of the chest cavity with the heart and lungs and other organs removed, showing the thoracic portion of the aorta (red), the main body artery. This artery carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The arteries branching off it are shown here. This anatomical artwork is plate 226 from volume 4 of Manuel d anatomie descriptive du corps humain (1825). This 5-volume anatomy atlas was produced by French physician and surgeon Jules Germain Cloquet (1790-1883). The illustrations were by Haincelin. Volume 4 illustrated the anatomy of the circulatory and respiratory systems

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Thoracic aorta" takes us back to the 19th century when French physician and surgeon Jules Germain Cloquet produced his remarkable anatomy atlas. Plate 226 from volume 4 of Manuel d'anatomie descriptive du corps humain (1825), this print showcases the intricate network of blood vessels within the thoracic portion of the aorta. The dissection reveals a mesmerizing sight: the heart and lungs have been removed, allowing us to focus solely on this vital artery that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to every corner of our bodies. The vibrant red color emphasizes its significance as it branches off into smaller arteries, ensuring proper circulation throughout our system. With meticulous detail, Haincelin's illustrations showcase not only the anterior view but also provide an insight into how these blood vessels intertwine with ribs and other structures within the chest cavity. This historical piece serves as a testament to both medical advancements and artistic brilliance in capturing anatomical accuracy. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork, we are reminded of how far we have come in understanding our own bodies. It is through such visual representations that we can appreciate the complexity and beauty hidden beneath our skin.
