Explore human anatomy in one beautiful volume, with over 250 images
For centuries, humankind has sought to know itself through an understanding of the body, in sickness and in health, inside and out. This fascination left in its wake a rich body of artworks that demonstrate not only the facts of the human body, but also the ways in which our ideas about the body and its proper representation have changed over time.
Striking
Anatomica brings together some of the most striking, fascinating and bizarre artworks from the 14th through 20th century, exploring human anatomy in one beautiful volume, with over 250 images.
Fascinating
“There’s a fine line between the horrible and the sublime, and Joanna Ebenstein’s Anatomica: The Exquisite and Unsettling Art of Human Anatomy walks it.” New York Times Book Review
Bizarre
At times both beautiful and unsettling, illustrated anatomy continues to hold our interest today, and is frequently referenced in popular culture.
Written by internationally recognised expert
Joanna Ebenstein is an internationally recognised expert in the art of anatomy and creator of the Morbid Anatomy blog, library and event series. Her books include Death: A Graveside Companion and The Anatomical Venus both for Thames and Hudson.
