Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
False-colour engraving of the venous system
False-colour version of an engraving of the venous system from De Humani Corporis Fabrica (On the Structure of the Human Body) by Andreas Vesalius, first published in 1543. The original black and white drawing was captioned A delineation of the entire vena cava freed from all its parts. Following traditional views, the venous system is depicted as a single continuous vessel. It is not clear who did many of the drawings; some scholars believe Titian may have been involved and certainly Jan van Kalkar and Domenico Campagnola contributed

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour engraving of the venous system, derived from Andreas Vesalius' groundbreaking work "De Humani Corporis Fabrica" published in 1543. Originally a black and white drawing titled "A delineation of the entire vena cava freed from all its parts" this version adds vibrant hues to enhance our understanding of the intricate network within our bodies. In this depiction, following conventional beliefs at that time, the venous system is portrayed as a single continuous vessel. The artist behind these remarkable drawings remains uncertain, although some experts speculate that renowned painter Titian might have been involved. Jan van Kalkar and Domenico Campagnola are also believed to have contributed their artistic skills to this masterpiece. The image provides an insightful glimpse into the anatomical knowledge available during Vesalius' era. It highlights his pioneering efforts in unraveling the mysteries of human anatomy and revolutionizing medical education. By meticulously illustrating each delicate vein, this print offers viewers a visual representation of how blood circulates through our bodies. With its cut-out style presentation against a contrasting background, this false-coloured engraving captivates both art enthusiasts and medical professionals alike. Its fusion of scientific accuracy with aesthetic appeal makes it an enduring symbol of Vesalius' contributions to our understanding of the vascular system. This print by Science Photo Library serves as a testament to humanity's perpetual quest for knowledge about ourselves and our complex biological structures.
