"Albinus I, Tab. IX: Musculature" is a seminal illustration from the groundbreaking anatomical atlas "Tabulae sceleti et musculorum corporis humani," published in 1743. This work is a collaboration between the Dutch anatomist Bernhard Siegfried Albinus (1697-1770) and the artist Jan Wandelaar. The atlas represents a monumental achievement in the history of medical illustration and anatomy, offering one of the most detailed and accurate depictions of the human skeleton and muscular system available at the time.

Bernhard Siegfried Albinus was a prominent figure in the field of anatomy, serving as a professor at the University of Leiden. His meticulous approach to the study of human anatomy, combined with a desire to correct the inaccuracies found in earlier works, led him to undertake the creation of this atlas. Albinus's dedication to precision is evident in the detailed descriptions and measurements provided for each illustration, setting a new standard for anatomical study.

Jan Wandelaar, a skilled Dutch artist, was responsible for the illustrations in the atlas, including "Albinus I, Tab. IX: Musculature." Wandelaar's artistry brought Albinus's vision to life, with each plate meticulously crafted to ensure anatomical accuracy and clarity. The collaboration between Albinus and Wandelaar was characterized by an innovative approach to medical illustration, including the use of live models and cadavers for reference, as well as employing advanced techniques for ensuring proportional accuracy, such as the camera obscura.

"Albinus I, Tab. IX: Musculature" specifically focuses on the human musculature system, showcasing the intricate details of muscle structure and arrangement. This illustration, like others in the atlas, is celebrated for its artistic quality as well as its scientific value, blending precise anatomical detail with aesthetic appeal. The work's significance extends beyond its immediate impact on the field of anatomy, influencing both medical education and the development of medical illustration as a discipline.

Published by J.&H. Verbeek in Leiden, the atlas was received with acclaim and contributed significantly to Bernhard Siegfried Albinus's reputation as a leading anatomist of his time. Today, "Albinus I, Tab. IX: Musculature" and the entire "Tabulae sceleti et musculorum corporis humani" atlas are considered important historical documents in the study of human anatomy, reflecting the 18th-century Enlightenment's emphasis on empirical observation and the pursuit of knowledge through detailed scientific documentation.
