Medicine: Leonardo's Anatomy Years (2012)

unapi

The exhibition represents two campaigns of intense work around 1490 and between 1507 and 1513, during which Leonardo dissected around 30 human corpses. He fully intended to publish his findings, and had he done so, he would have transformed the study of anatomy in Europe. Many of the bodily structures that he depicted would not be described again for centuries. But Leonardo's perfectionism, his difficulties in reconciling his observations with established beliefs about physiology, and simple bad luck prevented him from bringing his work to a conclusion.
