Title: TO A DOCTOR!

EASIER - BEFORE MEDICINE.

Skeleton as a symbol:

The human skeleton has multiple meanings in history: medical, scientific, symbolic, religious. These perceptions have shifted over time and place, and as anatomical study rose to prominence in early modern Europe, they continued to coexist. Skeletons, moreover, were crafted objects prepared from dead human bodies. Between the sixteenth and the mid-eighteenth centuries, a critical juncture in the history of anatomy, the skeleton became a scientific object while retaining long-held connotations as symbols of death and as relics. These symbolic roles continued to be evident in illustrations of skeletons, whether in anatomical textbooks and atlases or in manuals for artists.
