From the first dissection scenes of Antiquity and Velázquez's representations of dwarfs and jesters to Damien Hirst's disturbing anatomical cut-outs, this book revisits the great epic of the history of medicine through the figurative arts, while honouring its key figures such as Herophilus, Galen, Vesalius, Laennec, Semmelweis and Charcot.

Thanks to a multitude of drawings, engravings, paintings and sculptures by great masters - Van Eyck, Michelangelo, Goya or Munch - or by lesser-known artists, this volume brings to life the great anatomical and medical discoveries such as blood circulation, vaccines, the invention of the stethoscope, microbial theory, anaesthesia or heart transplantation.
