Andreas Vesalius

Andreas Vesalius was a Brabant from what is now Belgium. He was a physician, anatomist and author. He is sometimes referred to as the founder or father of modern anatomy. Vesalius was a distinguished professor who taught at the University of Padua and later in his life became imperial personal physician to Emperor Charles V. The name he was given is a Latinized name of the Dutch name Andries van Wezel. This was very common among scholars from Europe. On the same day of his graduation, Vesalius was offered a high position as head of surgery and anatomy in Padua. He was also known to speak about his work as a guest speaker in Pisa and Bologna. Previously, the topics he spoke about were taught by reading texts, mainly by Galen. No one bothered to actually verify these claims by Galen. Vesalius, however, wanted to perform dissection as his primary tool for teaching anatomy. He would do the work himself, and his students would watch as they clustered around the table. Andreas Vesalius believed that hands-on, direct observations were the best teaching tool. He also kept very detailed drawings of his sections for his students to view.

Andreas Vesalius was known as a great author who changed the views of human anatomy. Immediately after the publication of his work, he was appointed to the court of Emperor Charles V as imperial personal physician. Immediately after informing the Venetian Senate of his resignation in Padua, he was invited to teach at the University of Pisa, which he declined. When he took up his position at the emperor's court, many other physicians ridiculed him for his methods. He worked at the court for eleven years and traveled with them. He would help treat those who were injured in battles and tournaments. After the death of Charles V, he served Philip II at court. During this time he published a revised edition of his work de corporis. He then began work on his seven-volume work entitled de humani corporis fabrica, which can be translated as On the Fabric of the Human Body. This work had illustrations believed to have been drawn by a student of Titian. Immediately after the publication of this work, he published another version called de humani corporis fabrica librorum epitome. This version focused more on the illustrations to make it easier for people to understand. The two books were different. Andreas Vesalius is also known for his scientific findings. He was the one who first believed that the skeletal system is the framework that holds the human body together. This statement is found in the first chapter of de Fabrica. He also used this claim in many of his speeches and lectures. This was one of his most persistent claims against Galen's theories. One of his most impressive contributions was his study and observation of the muscular system. The illustrations in his book de Fabrica were a great contribution and revelation to the study of human anatomy. In addition, he did extensive research on the vascular and circulatory systems, the nervous system, abdominal organs, and other parts of the human body.
