Human skeleton
Human skeleton. Historical artwork of a human skeleton holding an hourglass. The 206 bones of the skeleton provide protection and support to the body. The ribs of the chest (upper right) enclose the heart and lungs. The pelvis protects (centre right) the lower abdominal organs. The flexible backbone runs from the skull to the pelvis and protects the spinal cord. The bones of the arms and legs articulate to provide locomotion. Hourglasses are used to measure time. It may symbolise ageing or death. This artwork is by Felix Platter and was published in 1583

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical artwork by Felix Platter from 1583, depicting a human skeleton holding an hourglass. The intricate illustration highlights the significance of the 206 bones that make up our skeletal system, providing both protection and support to our bodies. Notably, the ribs elegantly enclose vital organs such as the heart and lungs in the upper right portion of the image, while the pelvis safeguards lower abdominal organs at its center-right position. The flexible backbone stretches from skull to pelvis, safeguarding our precious spinal cord. Additionally, this mesmerizing piece emphasizes how bones in our arms and legs articulate to enable locomotion. Symbolically speaking, hourglasses are commonly used to measure time; thus, their presence in this artwork may represent concepts like aging or mortality. Rendered in monochrome hues against a white background, this exquisite illustration beautifully captures both artistry and scientific accuracy. It serves as a testament to Platter's mastery in merging medicine with art during his era. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking masterpiece by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of how intricately intertwined history and anatomy truly are – forever encapsulating humanity's fascination with life's transience through visual representations like these timeless cut-outs.
