Rome, 1783. Hand colored copperplate engraving. National Library of Medicine.

Bartolomeo Eustachi
(d. 1574)
[anatomist]

Giulio de’Musi
[artist]

In 1552, Eustachi commissioned a stylized series of anatomical plates featuring whimsically posed figures. In this 18th-century edition, the coloring scheme gives the men a harlequin-like appearance.
