History of Medical Practice

Numerous studies have shown that many works of art from the Renaissance period contain hidden symbols and codes that could have religious, mathematical and/or pagan significance and even anatomical allusions. In this context, the present manuscript offers new evidence that the great genius of anatomy, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564), included pagan symbols associated with female anatomy in the funerary monuments found in the Sagrestia Nuova /Medici Chapel (1519–1533) in Florence, Italy. The interpretation of the symbols provided in this study will interest those with a passion for the history of anatomy. Clin. Anat. 30:572–577, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
