Few people know that the legendary painter Leonardo da Vinci was especially fond of the study of the anatomy of the human body, not once conducting autopsies, but everything in order to depict human figures as accurately as possible on his canvases. Thanks to the British organization Royal Colléction Trust, which digitized most of the anatomical drawings of the outstanding scientist and famous artist, the viewer had a unique opportunity to look at these scientific sketches four hundred years ago, which to this day keep many secrets and mysteries …
Despite the fact that many Renaissance artists were interested in anatomy, it was da Vinci who managed to study the structure of the human body in more detail and thoroughly, as evidenced by his scientific works, which describe in detail all of his actions and research related to this science. Leonardo not only made sketches and sketches of body parts and muscle groups, but also showed them in section, accompanying each drawing with all the necessary notes in the form of mirrored lines.
