UCL Art Museum: 'Anatomy' Teaching Pack

UCL Art Museum holds a number of prints, drawings and books relevant to the teaching and learning of anatomy and the body in art. The collection has a number of exceptional drawings pertaining to the history of medical illustration and artistic anatomy, including works by Joseph Lister (‘father of modern antisepsis’), Charles Bell (Professor of Surgery, who gave the opening address at the Medical School in 1828) and Henry Tonks (Surgeon and Slade Professor). Early modern works in the collection include prints from an English edition of Albinus’ Tabulae Sceleti et Musculorum Corporis Humani (1749) and drawings by Old Masters such as Peter Paul Rubens. The collection also has late nineteeth and twentieth-century prize-winning life drawings by Slade students.
