This publication expands the art historic view on art’s link to human anatomy and medicine, bringing together in 1 text many case studies from several methodological perspectives. The contributors focus on the typical visual and physiological character of (figural) artwork, body, and medicine around the fundamental idea of modeling (posing, exemplifying and manufacturing ).

Topics covered include the use of anatomical study in artistic instruction, the significance of art and visual literacy in anatomical/medical instruction and at the dissemination (via versions ) of medical knowledge/information, and artistic aspects of the body in the contexts of general health and propaganda.
