Image search, Fernando Vicente's anatomy illustrations. http://www.fernandovicente.es/

Anatomy fascinated artists and there are examples of great anatomical drawings done by artists, especially in the Renaissance.

After watching Vanessa Ruiz’s TED talk, The spellbinding art of human anatomy,  I was captured by the contemporary artists who chose to portray anatomical parts in their work. As Vanessa shows in her talk, two are particularly interesting (to me), even though I have almost no interest in the scientific part of anatomy (!).


First, Fernando Vicente’s anatomy drawings.

Vicente is an illustrator and this is his Vanitas painting collection. I love the irony.

Then, there is Michael Reedy’s anatomy series:

A bit darker, perhaps.

Anyhow, a good excuse to show their work.
