Book Overview
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
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. At times both beautiful and unsettling, illustrated anatomy continues to hold our interest today, and is frequently referenced in popular culture. Anatomica brings together some of the most striking, fascinating and bizarre artworks from the the 14th through 20th century, exploring human anatomy in one beautiful volume, with over 250 images.

Fantastic anatomy references for any artist
Derived From Web , May 10, 2021
I have been looking for an anatomy book that was more interesting than the classics like Grays Anatomy and its hard to find good images online for art references. Not only do I find images here that are no where else good information it also gives good information! When it arrived, the corner was a little busted, but I have a feeling that more than the seller had to do with the shipping. I would recommend this to anyone looking for more interesting references or just learning!

Covers from head to toe bones, muscle structure and all bits parts and pieces between.

I mostly bought this to help me with my sketches of people. I know how what we see on the surface of the human body covers the muscles tendons and ligaments that cover bone structure. I have drawn a skeleton in the past, but this gives a more in depth look.

Beautiful book...

If you like anatomy, you will like this book. Grey's anatomy is a medical requirement, but is a fun book for sheer beauty.
