EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut engraving captures an anatomy lecture at Padua in the 15th century, providing a glimpse into the world of medical education during this time. The scene depicts a professor seated in his chair, engrossed in reading from a book, while a demonstrator uses a stick to point out the progress of a dissection taking place nearby. Interestingly, the students appear to be mere observers rather than active participants in the dissection process, as this "ignoble" task was typically carried out by lower-grade employees. The intricate details and historical significance of this artwork make it a valuable piece for those interested in medicine, science, and education throughout history. The wooden furniture and tools used in the dissection add authenticity to the setting, transporting viewers back to a time when human anatomy was still being explored and understood. Overall, this print serves as both an educational tool and a work of art that sheds light on how anatomical knowledge was acquired centuries ago. It is truly fascinating to see how far we have come in our understanding of internal anatomy since these early days of medical study at Padua University.
