⁂ The first is an important and influential work on anatomy; the second is an accurate anatomical guide for the use of artists, with plates of nude figures in artistic poses, those of women being particularly revealing for the time. The final plate depicts the famous statue of Laocoön and the serpent but with his figure skinned to show the muscles beneath.
