Vesalius: engraving of venous system
Engraving of the venous system from De Humani Corporis Fabrica (On the Structure of the Human Body) by Andreas Vesalius, first published in 1543. It 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 an engraving of the venous system, taken from Andreas Vesalius' groundbreaking work "De Humani Corporis Fabrica" (On the Structure of the Human Body), first published in 1543. The intricate illustration is captioned as "A delineation of the entire vena cava freed from all its parts" providing a glimpse into our understanding of blood circulation during that era. In this depiction, which aligns with traditional beliefs at the time, the venous system is portrayed as a single continuous vessel. The artist responsible for these remarkable drawings remains somewhat mysterious; while some experts speculate that renowned painter Titian may have been involved, it is certain that Jan van Kalkar and Domenico Campagnola made significant contributions. The image captures not only Vesalius' revolutionary anatomical discoveries but also his ability to communicate complex scientific concepts through visual representation. It serves as a testament to his pioneering role in advancing our knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. As we observe this historic artwork, we are reminded of how far medical science has progressed since Vesalius' time. Yet, we can't help but appreciate the immense impact he had on shaping our understanding of the circulatory system and paving the way for future advancements in medicine. This print stands as a tribute to both Vesalius' legacy and humanity's unending quest for knowledge about ourselves.
