#andreas vesalius
Andreas Vesalius was an anatomist, physician, and author of one of the most influential books on human anatomy, De humani corporis fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human Body).
He is often referred to as the founder of modern human anatomy. He was professor at the University of Padua and later became Imperial physician at the court of Emperor Charles V.
Image: Fabrica contained many intricately detailed drawings of human dissections, often in allegorical poses.
(stunning, you can almost feel and smell the paper and ink)
