Autopsy, "Heart's Anatomy", 1890
Enrique Simonet Lombardo (February 2, 1866 - April 20, 1927) was a Spanish painter. In 1887 he obtained a grant to study painting in the Fine Arts Academy in Rome, where he painted in 1890 Heart's Anatomy; a painting that would bring him international recognition and which won him several prizes. An autopsy is a highly specialized surgical procedure that consists of a thorough examination of a corpse to determine the cause and manner of death and to evaluate any disease or injury that may be present. It is usually performed by a specialized medical doctor called a pathologist. In part with a long history of autopsy and dissection brought a new way to advance medicine and research. Some of the only ways to understand a disease is to be able to see how it affects the body. By opening up the body and studying these effects, scientist have been able to advance medicine to kill these diseases unlike in the past when scientists couldn't fully understand the effects of the disease on the body. Print based on Enrique Lombardo's "Heart's Anatomy", 1890.
