The graphic title page of Andreas Vesalius' De humani corporis fabrica libri septem (Basel, 1543) contains an innovative approach to human inspection by the Renaissance. As an anatomist and a doctor, Vesarius proudly depicts the position as the center of the Anatomy Theater at the University of Padova. He is analyzing the body of the woman in detail and suggests to the reader that his paper is based on his own research. In the past, a doctor sat on a high chair while dissecting the anatomical structure of the book and a surgeon - a barber made a necropsy. Many of the books and prints on display reflect the medical research spirit of Vesarius. During the Renaissance, the doctor was still thankful for the tradition of Greek-Roman medicine based on emerging medical advances in empirical research. )

Meanwhile, surgery has made significant progress. Andreas Vesalius, an anatomical professor at the University of Padova, is an important person in the transition from classical medicine to anatomy of the Renaissance based on Galen's research. In the anatomical treatment of De humani corporis fabrica, he revealed much of Galen's anatomical mistake and insisted that all surgeons should do their own actual anatomy for training.

Modern anatomy started in 1543 with Belgian anatomist Andreas Vesalius' s publication. Prior to this classic work was announced, because anatomists were traditionally tied, authorities over 1,000 years ago like Greek doctor Galen (Gale) acknowledged to replace actual observations. However, Vesarius and other Renaissance anatomists described observations of their human corpses and set patterns for subsequent anatomical studies.
