The art of anatomy

Join us to acknowledge the innovation made by Leonardo da Vinci in understanding human anatomy. In this webinar, we will assess the uniqueness of this acquisition of knowledge and evaluate the extent to which this knowledge failed to gain wider acceptance.

This session is based on the book ‘Leonardo da Vinci: Under the Skin‘ by the two speakers, Professor Michel Farthing and Professor Stephen Farthing, in which the authors draw from both their experiences in medicine and art in the assessment of Leonardo’s anatomical works.

Professor Michel is an academic physician and Professor Stephen is an artist and art historian. The purpose of this webinar is to help participants gain an understanding of anatomy and its relevance to clinical practice. This webinar also aims to demonstrate the outstanding quality and originality of Leonarda da Vinci’s talent, exploring where he got it right and where he got it wrong. There will also be one lecture delivered jointly by acknowledged authorities on this subject.

During this session, you’ll be able to:

• Understand the fundamental structure of the human body as shown by Leonardo da Vinci
• Learn how this knowledge can be applied to contemporary clinical practice, particularly in surgery and radiology
• Discuss ways in which da Vinci’s art explores the human condition

There is a limited number of places available for this in-person event. You can now live stream this meeting from anywhere. Click here to book the live stream.
