This stunningly illustrated compendium traces the intertwined intellectual and artistic histories of comparative anatomy from antiquity to today. Stripped Bare brings together some of the most arresting images ever produced, from the earliest studies of animal form to the technicolor art of computer-generated anatomies. David Bainbridge draws on representative illustrations from different eras to discuss the philosophical, scientific, and artistic milieus from which they emerged. He vividly describes the unique aesthetics of each phase of anatomical endeavor, providing new insights into the exquisite anatomical drawings of Leonardo and Albrecht Dürer in the era before printing, Jean Héroard's cutting and cataloging of the horse during the age of Louis XIII, the exotic pictorial menageries of the Comte de Buffon in the eighteenth century, anatomical illustrations from Charles Darwin's voyages, the lavish symmetries of Ernst Haeckel's prints, and much, much more. Featuring a wealth of breathtaking color illustrations throughout, Stripped Bare is a panoramic tour of the intricacies of vertebrate life as well as an expansive history of the peculiar and beautiful ways humans have attempted to study and understand the natural world."--Publisher's description Analysis Aculeata Alfred Russel Wallace Anatomy Andreas Vesalius Archaeopteryx Argyropelecus Augury Baculum Balkh Battle of San Romano Bestiary Bipedalism Bird Body plan Bridget Riley Canine tooth Carlo Ruini Cerebral cortex Charles Darwin Circulatory system Circumnavigation Comparative anatomy Coracoid Corona radiata (embryology) Cubism Dromedary Dugong Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash Edema Embryo, Mammalian Embryo Engraving Ernst Haeckel Exponential growth Fetal membrane Fetus Giacomo Balla Gideon Mantell Gonad Haruspex Histoire Naturelle Human skeleton Hyrax Iridescence Jackalope Jellyfish Karl Ernst von Baer Leash Leonardo da Vinci Lepus cornutus Longevity Mammal Mammalian Species Mammary gland Mathematical and theoretical biology Measurement Mesohippus Naqshbandi Nuremberg On Growth and Form Ontogeny and Phylogeny (book) Ovarian artery Paleontology Phenol Pierre Belon Placenta Plesiosauria Pliocene Processing (Chinese materia medica) Pterosaur Renaissance Reproductive biology Ring finger Ruminant Samarkand Sayyid Scaly leg Scientist Sea lamprey Shafi'i South America Spindle apparatus Superiority (short story) Supporter Tasmanian devil Thomas Willis Toucan Trachea Transitional fossil Umbilical artery Vagina Ventricle (heart) Vertebra Vertebrate Veterinary medicine Western painting Working animal Wrist Zoological Society of London Zoology Notes "Conceived, edited, and designed by Quarto Publishing plc, an imprint of The Quarto Group"--Title page verso Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 15, 2019) Subject Anatomy, Comparative -- In art Anatomy -- In art Anatomy, Artistic.
