Marie François Xavier Bichat was a pioneering French anatomist and physiologist, whose work laid the foundation for modern histology and tissue pathology. Born on November 14, 1771, in Thoirette, France, Bichat's contributions to medical science were profound despite his short life, as he died at the young age of 30 on July 22, 1802. His innovative approach to studying the human body involved the meticulous examination of tissues, leading to the identification and classification of 21 different types of tissues in the human body. This groundbreaking work was instrumental in shifting the focus of medical research from organs to tissues, thereby revolutionizing the understanding of human anatomy and disease processes.

Bichat's most notable works include "Traité des membranes" (Treatise on Membranes) published in 1800, and "Anatomie générale appliquée à la physiologie et à la médecine" (General Anatomy Applied to Physiology and Medicine) published posthumously in 1801. These texts were seminal in advancing the study of tissues and their functions, influencing countless future medical researchers and practitioners.

Cook, featured in The National Portrait Gallery, Volume III, published around 1820 by Pierre Roch Vigneron, captures the essence of this remarkable scientist.
