Historical Anatomical Illustration

Anatomical illustration by Bartholomeo Eustachi (aka Eustachio and Eustachius), from Tabulae anatomicae (Romae: Ex Typographia Pauli Junchi, 1783).

He served as the physician to the Duke of Urbino and eventually became physician to Cardinal Giulio Della Rovere in Rome, where Eustachi lectured on anatomy at the Studio della Sapienza. He died in 1574 en route to Fossombrone to tend to the Cardinal. Throughout his career, Eustachi was a staunch supporter of Galenic anatomy, performing his own in-depth investigations to oppose such reformers as Vesalius
