See printed masterpieces of anatomical illustration and hear about the bringing together of artistic technique with anatomical science. Featuring historical highlights from Wellcome Collection described by William Schupbach and insights from anatomy lecturer Jennifer Paxton, this talk will explore how the long tradition of anatomical illustration continues to this day.
This event is inspired by ‘Anatomicum‘ by Jennifer Paxton.
