Jan Wandelaar, Bernard Siegfried Albinus and an Indian Rhinoceros Named Clara Set High Standards as the Process of Anatomical Illustration Entered a New Phase of Precision, Artistic Beauty, and Marketing in the 18th Century
In the 1700s, the geographical centre for anatomical research and teaching shifted from the Italian schools to universities in the Netherlands (Cazort 1996). During this period, Jan Wandelaar (1690-1759), artist, and Bernhard Siegfried Albinus (1697-1770), chair of Anatomy and Surgery, formed a unique and highly successful artist-anatomist partnership at the University of Leiden. The transfer of knowledge between the two men flourished during a period of Enlightenment ideals, the availability of cadavers for dissection and comparison, and high-quality copperplate engraving.
