The visual representation of human anatomy in the Renaissance was the fruit of an extraordinary partnership between physicians and artists. You are all invited to explore a great variety of early printed books containing illustrations of the human body that reflect the science of dissection as well as the latest artistic theories. The display will include richly illustrated treatises by well-known authors such as Leonardo da Vinci and Andreas Vesalius.

This event is part of Special Collections After Hours, a monthly open house series sharing highlights from the many books, documents, and artifacts in the Special Collections Research Center. Each event is open to everyone and will offer a new group of themed materials for visitors to explore. Open houses are held on the second Tuesday of each month during the academic year. Light refreshments will be provided.
