anatomy, art, and religion



Thank you to those Renaissance artists who brought together science and art— dissecting human beings and studying their anatomy, learning how a muscle contracts, how a bone shapes a shadow, how a body can twist and bend... How to turn a flat, emotionless saint into a person wrought with fear, ecstasy, and devotion— so real, you swear you could see a throbbing in their neck...
