This print showcases the intricate details of "The second plate of the muscles" from Book II of De humani corporis fabrica, a groundbreaking work by Andreas Vesalius. Created in 1543, this engraving is a testament to Vesalius' mastery as both an artist and a scientist.

His work challenged long-held beliefs about the human body and paved the way for modern anatomy. This particular print focuses on the muscles, highlighting their complexity and interconnectedness within our bodies. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the timeless quality of this piece, transporting us back to the 16th century when it was first published in Basel, Switzerland. The precision of each line demonstrates Vesalius' dedication to accuracy while capturing every muscle fiber with remarkable clarity.
