The Fourth Plate of the Muscles

The Fourth Plate of the Muscles by Domenico Maria Bonavera, Andreas Vesalius

Artwork Detail

Published around 1670 as part of 'Notomia de Titiano' (Titian's Anatomy), this print by Domenico Maria Bonavera reproduces woodcut images to designs by Andreas Vesalius (1514-64) which were first published by Vesalius in his 'De humani corporis fabrica libri septem' in 1543. The traditional attribution of the designs to Titian now appears to be incorrect.
