Camilla Taylor Offering Kilncast glass, hair, iron Edition of 3. I wanted to make something precious, and I have a fond memory of memorizing the bones of the human body. I made the sacrum sculpture mostly from my recollection of its shape, so there are no doubt inaccuracies due to the vagaries of memory. While working on this piece, I was able to view a posthumous edition of De Humani Corporis Fabrica, and see the intricate and groundbreaking engravings within the book.  All of the illustrations have the organs of the wrong side: the illustrations didn't account for the fact that printmaking reverses the image.

💬 Peki sence Vesalius olmasaydı modern tıp ne kadar gecikirdi?

Anatomy, heresy and Shipwrecks 2nd October 1564, death of Flemish-Netherlandish physician and anatomist Andreas Vesalius, best known for his work ‘De humani corporis fabrica’ (On the Fabric of the Human Body), published in 1543, and cited as the foundation of modern anatomy. In 1564 Vesalius undertook a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, the reason is unclear but a story spread by Emperor Charles V’s diplomat Hubert Languet the following year, claimed that Vesalius was condemned to death by the Inquisition for performing an autopsy on a Spanish aristocrat while the heart was beating, and went to the Holy Land to seek penance. Whatever the reason, Vesalius was shipwrecked in the Ionian Sea, on the island of Zakynthos, where he died on this day. As a young man Vesalius had been taught by Dutch physician, mathematician, cartographer, philosopher, and instrument maker Gemma Frisius, who also taught the Welsh astronomer, astrologer and occult philosopher John Dee.

One more #tbt 24x36 oil on canvas from over 10 years ago. At the time, I was really into ecorche and the artwork of Andreas Vesalius. I put it in a few art shows but it never sold, looks like we're destined to be together. I'm cool with that. #écorché #oilpaintings #cadmiumred #andreasvesalius
