The Art of Animal Anatomy: All Life is Here, Dissected and Depicted

3.50 (2 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): David Bainbridge

Discover the inner workings of an animal's anatomy with this beautiful guide, featuring historical illustrations and lyrical descriptions of the animal body. Have you ever wondered what beats beneath an animal's skin? Well, you wouldn't be the first one. The study of comparative anatomy has led to some of the most striking images ever created. For two-and-a-half thousand years, the animal body has been picked apart to drive arguments in natural philosophy, to reinforce dogma, to remind us of death, to horrify, educate and enthral. This book recounts the intertwined intellectual and artistic journeys of comparative anatomy from antiquity to the present day. Rather than offering an exhaustive listing, it focuses on the distinctive artistic flavours of five great phases of anatomical endeavour. Horses opened like books, the leer of a sharks eye, the humming loom of the brain all life is here, dissected and depicted. Lyrically written and accompanied by captivating illustrations from history's animal anatomists, this is an ideal read for designers, art lovers and scientists alike. See more
