History of medical anatomical drawings
The medical drawings that appeared before the Renaissance were mainly schematic in nature. After that time, these anatomical drawings became increasingly realistic. With the rise of medical science, the human body was examined and mapped out more and more systematically at the universities. The creation of anatomical theatres, such as the one at Leiden University in 1594/95, made an important contribution to the development of anatomical drawings. In these theatres, the cutting open of human bodies. Could be followed by interested parties and thus also by illustrators. One of the illustrators who gave a new impulse to the drawing of medical subjects is the Italian Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519). He relied exclusively on his own perception and drew what he saw himself. His drawings are characterised by realism.
Profession of a medical illustrator
In the late 1700s, scientists increasingly concentrated on the study of diseases and disorders. In addition, in the course of the nineteenth century, more and more specialisations arose. Medical drawings played an important role in conveying the new scientific medical knowledge in theses and articles. New colour printing techniques made it possible to clearly visualise details of pathological abnormalities and to disseminate information about them. This made the profession of a medical illustrator more versatile. The improvement of printing techniques made it possible to reproduce medical drawings more and more realistically. This demanded more drawing skill from the illustrator. To train these skills many medical illustrators received training in drawing from artists’ associations. The Leiden anatomical illustrator Gerard Sandifort gave a course in dissection for visual artists for the Leiden artist association Ars Aemula Naturae.
Medical information with illustrations
Research shows that more and more people have a great need for reliable (medical) information. Especially in health and illness with clear medical illusrations. The Internet is increasingly used as the main source for obtaining this medical information. Almost every question about health and illness can be answered with the help of clear medical drawings and medical animations. Often the anatomical drawings are clarified with texts and pictures. Idiomorph developed medical drawings and medical animations for information websites. In cooperation with (semi) public organisations and the business community.
Cooperation
The scientific association of general practitioners (NHG) provides information on health complaints and disorders. They are common in primary health care. The 2ZW Information Centre, part of the Netherlands Institute for Care and Welfare, provides descriptions of diseases that are mainly seen in secondary care (including hospitals). Publishing house Het Spectrum makes the Winkler Prins Medical Encyclopaedia available, while Idiomorf is responsible for a large number of medical illustrations. The Trimbos Institute and the Oranje Kruis provide medical information about the most common psychological disorders and First Aid for Accidents respectively. In 2006, Idiomorf expanded the ‘medical information’ and supplemented it with interactive medical animations and illustrations linked to digital decision aids.

A lot of the things you say is supprisingly accurate and that makes me ponder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this with this light before. Your piece really did switch the light on for me personally as far as this issue goes. Nonetheless there is one position I am not necessarily too comfortable with and while I make an effort to reconcile that with the main idea of the position, permit me observe what the rest of the readers have to point out.Nicely done.
