For centuries, humankind has sought to know itself through an understanding of the body, in sickness and in health, inside and out. This fascination left in its wake a rich body of artworks that demonstrate not only the facts of the human body, but also the ways in which our ideas about the body and its proper representation have changed over time. At times both beautiful and repulsive, illustrated anatomy continues to hold our interest today, and is frequently referenced in popular culture. 'Anatomica' brings together some of the most striking, fascinating and bizarre artworks from the 16th through to the 20th century, exploring human anatomy in one beautiful volume.

I read this shortly after reading Flesh and Bones from Getty Publications and together these books offered a well-rounded look at the art of the human body through the ages. The strengths of Ebenstein's volume is that it is more of a single work while the other uses essays to highlight aspects of the exhibition it is for.
I was impressed with the captions in this book, they were both quite informative while also being almost conversational in tone. There was a humanity and sense of compassion in the writing that made the images seem personal rather than clinical or even simply artistic.
I would recommend this to those who want both a beautifully illustrated book and one that also shares information.
