I found this on BBC this morning, and found it fascinating.
The largest exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci's
drawings of the human body goes on display in the Queen's Gallery at
Buckingham Palace this week. So how accurate were they? During his lifetime, Leonardo made thousands of pages of notes and drawings on the human body. He wanted to understand how the body was composed and how it
worked. But at his death in 1519, his great treatise on the body was
incomplete and his scientific papers were unpublished.
Based on what survives, clinical anatomists believe that
Leonardo's anatomical work was hundreds of years ahead of its time, and
in some respects it can still help us understand the body today.
So how do these drawings, sketched more than 500 years ago, compare to what digital imaging technology can tell us today? (. . .)
