We owe a great debt to&,nbsp,Jean Baptiste Marc
Bourgery&,nbsp,(1797–1849) for his&,nbsp,Atlas of Anatomy,
which was not only a massive event in medical history, but also
remains one of the most&,nbsp,comprehensive and beautifully
illustrated anatomical treatises ever published.Bourgery began work
on his magnificent atlas in 1830 in cooperation with
illustrator&,nbsp,Nicolas Henri Jacob&,nbsp,(1782–1871), a
student of the French painter&,nbsp,Jacques Louis David. The
first volumes were published the following year, but completion of
the treatise required nearly two decades of dedication, Bourgery
lived just long enough to finish his labor of love, but the last of
the treatise’s eight volumes was not published in its entirety
until five years after his death.The eight volumes of Bourgery’s
treatise cover&,nbsp,descriptive anatomy, surgical anatomy and
techniques&,nbsp,(exploring in detail nearly all the major
operations that were performed during the first half of the 19th
century),&,nbsp,general anatomy and
embryology,&,nbsp,and&,nbsp,microscopic anatomy. Jacob’s
spectacular&,nbsp,hand-colored lithographs&,nbsp,are
remarkable for their clarity, color, and aesthetic appeal,
reflecting a combination of&,nbsp,direct laboratory
observation&,nbsp,and&,nbsp,illustrative research.
Unsurpassed to this day, the images offer exceptional anatomical
insight, not only for those in the medical field but also for
artists, students, and anyone interested in the&,nbsp,workings
and wonder of the human body.
