Anatomy of, well, anatomy...

Three centuries worth of anatomical models are explored at Susan Lamb's Analysis of Anatomy Models website:

By examining the way in which anatomy models are fabricated and decorated, the values and attitudes of the societies that produced them can be further understood and analyzed.

What you'll find therein is mildly gruesome. For example the beautiful Medical Venus from the 1775 Specola collection in Florence comes apart like a puzzle to reveal a little fetus inside her womb - her realistic innards a stark contrast to the chocolate tresses that carress her creamy arms. Bizarrely, it seems that as people learnt more about the human body, their models of it became more abstract and schematic. Just look at the 1930s Clay Adams models with their exaggerated colors and sharp lines.
