Intestinal arteries, 1825 artwork
Intestinal arteries. Dissection of the abdomen, showing the inferior mesenteric artery (red) and its branches that supply oxygenated blood to the large intestine, from the descending colon (across top and down right) to the rectum (lower right). The small intestine is at lower left. This anatomical artwork is plate 231 from volume 4 of Manuel d anatomie descriptive du corps humain (1825). This 5-volume anatomy atlas was produced by French physician and surgeon Jules Germain Cloquet (1790-1883). The illustrations were by Haincelin. Volume 4 illustrated the anatomy of the circulatory and respiratory systems

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Intestinal Arteries" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the intricate world of human anatomy. Created in 1825 by French physician and surgeon Jules Germain Cloquet, this detailed illustration is part of his renowned five-volume atlas on descriptive anatomy. The print showcases the dissected abdomen of a European male, revealing the complex network of intestinal arteries that supply oxygenated blood to the large intestine. The vibrant red color highlights the main focus - the inferior mesenteric artery - as it branches out across the descending colon towards its final destination: the rectum. With precision and accuracy, this historical artwork provides valuable insights into our circulatory system's inner workings. It serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic talent during an era when medical knowledge was rapidly expanding. The collaboration between Cloquet and illustrator Haincelin brings forth not only anatomical accuracy but also aesthetic beauty. This piece from volume four specifically delves into exploring both circulatory and respiratory systems' intricacies. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how far medicine has advanced since then while appreciating these early pioneers who paved the way for our understanding of human physiology.
