EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Structure of the Brain" from Rene Descartes' renowned work, De Homine Figuris. Published in The Hague in 1662, this engraving by the French School of the 17th century is now housed at the Bibliotheque de l Institut de France in Paris. Intriguingly detailed, this image delves into Descartes' theory of the body and human movement. It offers a fascinating glimpse into anatomical knowledge during that era and serves as a testament to advancements made in medicine and neurology. With its cross-sectional view, this print provides an invaluable insight into how our brains are organized. It unravels the intricate network of neural pathways and structures that contribute to our understanding of health and well-being. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are reminded of Descartes' profound contributions to science and philosophy. His treatise on man has left an indelible mark on our understanding of ourselves as complex beings with both physical bodies and conscious minds. This artwork not only celebrates scientific progress but also invites us to contemplate the mysteries contained within each one of us. It serves as a reminder that despite centuries passing since its creation, there is still much more to learn about le cerveau—the brain—and its vital role in shaping our lives.
