Anatomica: The Exquisite and Unsettling Art of Human Anatomy

what can i say i like looking at the human form without skin, sue me

Gorgeous. Shocking. Gobsmackingly good.

I can't decide if this is an anatomy book, art book or history book. I think it leans more into the art/history genre because so many of the early drawings are inaccurate. Treat this as a book on the artistic history of anatomy and you will be delighted.The actual book quality (binding and paper quality) are top notch as well.

I have so many anatomy books for artists. There a few great ones but most have been lacking what Ive been looking for. They're often very flat, inspired illustration. This is a wonderful collection anatomical illustration. Especially The large span of styles and time periods. There are so many different textures in the illustrations that I'll be referencing in the future. Perfect gift for artist and the oddball people in your life.

I got this for my sister who is an artist and has a number of anatomy books lining her shelf. This is unique and gorgeous! I might get myself a copy.

If you’re fascinated with the human body you’ll absolutely love this book

This is more of a history of the artwork with great imagery and very interesting aspects however most the artwork is classic pieces of early medicine. I was hoping for a detail oriented book of the structure of the human body, disappointed at my own negligence but not by the purchase

I bought this mostly to help with my sketches of people. I sure helps to know how what we see on the surface of the human body is covering the muscles tendons and ligaments that cover the bone structure. I have drawn a skeleton in the past but this gives a more "in depth" look. Fascinating!
