"Human Skeleton 2" is an anatomical illustration from the seminal work "De humani corporis fabrica libri septem" (On the Fabric of the Human Body in Seven Books), published in 1543 by Andreas Vesalius, a Belgian anatomist and physician. Vesalius is often referred to as the founder of modern human anatomy. His publication is a landmark in medical history and represents a major departure from the reliance on ancient texts, such as those by Galen, and a move towards empirical research and direct observation.

The illustration "Human Skeleton 2" is one of the many detailed engravings found in Vesalius's work, which was remarkable for its accuracy and intricacy. These illustrations were based on dissections Vesalius conducted himself and were drawn by artists under his supervision, possibly including Jan Stephan van Calcar, a student of Titian. The images served not only as an educational tool but also as a work of art, reflecting the Renaissance's deepening interest in the human form both scientifically and aesthetically.

"De humani corporis fabrica" was groundbreaking in its detailed and accurate representation of the human anatomy, and "Human Skeleton 2" exemplifies the high standard of the work. The illustration shows the human skeleton in a standing pose, allowing for the study of the bones in their natural relationship to one another. This was part of Vesalius's innovative approach to anatomy, which emphasized the importance of hands-on dissection and direct observation by students.

The publication of "De humani corporis fabrica" and its illustrations, including "Human Skeleton 2," had a profound impact on the field of medicine. It challenged many of the inaccuracies perpetuated by earlier texts and laid the foundation for modern anatomical studies. The work's influence extended beyond medicine, affecting art, science, and the way the human body was perceived during the Renaissance and beyond.
