Brain membrane vessels, 1825 artwork
Brain membrane vessels. Axial section through the skull showing the blood vessels (red) of two of the brain membranes, the arachnoid mater and pia mater, relative to the upper surfaces of the brain hemispheres. At bottom is a cross-section through the spinal cord of a cow. This anatomical artwork is plate 176 from volume 3 of Manuel d anatomie descriptive du corps humain (1825). This 5-volume anatomy atlas was produced by French physician and surgeon Jules Germain Cloquet (1790-1883). The illustrations were by Haincelin. Volume 3 illustrated the anatomy of the human nervous system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century artwork, titled "Brain Membrane Vessels" offers a remarkable glimpse into the intricate anatomy of the human brain and spinal cord. Created in 1825 by French physician and surgeon Jules Germain Cloquet, this illustration is part of his renowned five-volume anatomy atlas, Manuel d'anatomie descriptive du corps humain. In this particular print, we are presented with an axial section through the skull that reveals the vibrant red blood vessels coursing through two essential brain membranes: the arachnoid mater and pia mater. The upper surfaces of the brain hemispheres are also visible, showcasing their complex structure. At the bottom of this masterpiece lies a cross-section through a cow's spinal cord, providing further insight into comparative anatomy. This inclusion highlights Cloquet's comprehensive approach to studying not only human but also animal bodies. The meticulous attention to detail in depicting these vital circulatory pathways allows us to appreciate how oxygenated blood flows within our brains. It serves as a testament to both scientific knowledge and artistic skill during this period. As we gaze upon this historical gem from above, we can't help but marvel at its significance in advancing our understanding of neurology and the human nervous system. This anatomical artwork stands as a testament to centuries-old medical discoveries that continue to shape modern medicine today.
