Abstract:

The first official edition of the anatomy of the human body, intended for artists, appeared in Paris in 1668. Its author is the French artist and engraver FranΓ§ois Tortebat (1616–1690). It was intended to be used for teaching anatomy to artists 20 years earlier, in 1648, at the AcadΓ©mie royale de peinture et de sculpture. The text is very little and the illustrations are copies of those from Andreas Vesalius’ groundbreaking work 𝐷𝑒 π»π‘’π‘šπ‘Žπ‘›π‘– πΆπ‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘π‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘–π‘  πΉπ‘Žπ‘π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘π‘Ž.
