Description: | A man is holding a volume by Julius Casserius (1552-1616), an Italian anatomist from Padua who gave the first detailed descriptions of the organs of speech and hearing. His texts are notable for their descriptive accuracy and detailed investigation into human and comparative anatomy. The book therefore implies that the sitter is a surgeon or anatomist. The dress and hair style suggest that the work dates from the late eighteenth century and may be either French or Italian. | Subjects: | portrait (?); interior; still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Unknown Æ Previously attributed to school of Italian (Venetian) School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8325... | Go to resource |
