It was an era in which the two disciplines were closely connected and mutually dependent. Anatomy students attended drawing classes at the Royal Academy and other institutions to develop the artistic skills they needed to accurately depict their specimens. Artists attended private anatomy schools to study the construction of the human body, so that their representations of action and expression could be more convincing. Their personal and professional lives overlapped in ways that shaped their disciplines. This book is principally concerned with three of these: how the fine arts and their practices were imported into anatomical illustration, how anatomy took on a prominent pedagogical position in some schools of art, and how anatomical accuracy became an important criterion in aesthetic evaluation. These interactions are pursued through the works of three men: John Bell, Charles Landseer, and Robert Carswell. They were all influential figures in their time, and this book serves to return them to contemporary discussions.00Allister Neher, a former Humanities Professor at Dawson College, Canada, is a Research Associate of the Osler Library of the History of Medicine at McGill University, Canada. 650 0 $a Medicine and art $z Great Britain $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Human figure in art $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Human anatomy $z Great Britain $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Anatomy, Artistic $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Medical illustration $y 19th century. 650 2 $a Medicine in the Arts 650 2 $a Human Body 650 2 $a Anatomy, Artistic 650 2 $a Medical Illustration 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781527579026 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021614.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=203E68F8BFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
