The Renaissance: Anatomy's Influence on Art and Human Form

This workshop explores the Renaissance's profound impact on art through the lens of anatomical science. Following the Black Death, artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo sought to revive humanism, leading to a rebirth in artistic expression and understanding of the human body. Dissection and meticulous observation fueled a new realism in art, as seen in works that depict the human form with stunning accuracy. We will discuss key pieces, such as da Vinci's fetal drawings and Michelangelo's Libyan Sibyl, illustrating the transformative relationship between anatomy and art during the Renaissance.
