"Anatomical Study" is a term that refers to a series of illustrations found within the seminal work "De Humani Corporis Fabrica" (On the Fabric of the Human Body) by Andreas Vesalius, a pioneering Flemish anatomist and physician. The book, first published in 1543 in Basel, is often considered one of the most influential works in the history of Western medicine and a major event in both medicine and printing. Vesalius (1514–1564) was a professor at the University of Padua and later a court physician to Charles V and Philip II of Spain. His detailed and precise anatomical work challenged many of the incorrect teachings of the ancient Greek physician Galen, which had dominated medical thinking for over a millennium.

The illustrations in "De Humani Corporis Fabrica" are particularly notable for their artistic quality and anatomical accuracy, which was unprecedented at the time. They provided a new level of detail in the study of the human body, combining scientific information with aesthetic appeal. These woodcut prints were produced in collaboration with artists from the workshop of Titian, a renowned Italian painter, which contributed to their exceptional quality.

The "Anatomical Study" illustrations depict various aspects of the human anatomy, from skeletal structures and musculature to the vascular and nervous systems. They are characterized by their clarity, realism, and the use of cadavers in active poses, which was a departure from the more static representations of the era. The images not only served as educational tools but also as works of art that reflected the Renaissance fascination with the human form and the natural world.

Vesalius's work, including the "Anatomical Study" illustrations, marked a turning point in the study of anatomy, shifting from reliance on ancient texts to direct observation and dissection of the human body. The impact of "De Humani Corporis Fabrica" was profound, influencing generations of physicians, anatomists, and artists, and it remains a landmark in the history of medicine and the anatomical sciences.
