This exquisitely rendered early 19th-century anatomical engraving once formed part of the Icones Anatomicae - a set of four volumes depicting various parts of the body.

It was created by Leopoldo Marco Antonio Caldani (1725-1813) and his nephew, Floriano Caldani (1772-1836), a collaboration between two exceptional minds.

When published, Icones Anatomicae was widely lauded as the finest representation of the anatomy to date and today it still garners a great deal of interest from the scientific community.
