"In this title page to the Amsterdam 1666 edition of Johannes Vesling's Syntagma anatomicum, with commentary by Gerardus Blasius, Vesling is seated next to a table covered with a cloth, decorated with two crossed bones, which bears the title of the book. He is identified by his name which appears above his hat and by the cross of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. He is depicted wearing the same cross on a chain in his engraved portrait in the Padua 1647 edition of the Syntagma anatomicum, which is the second enlarged edition with added plates by G. Giorgio (see Garosi 1963, tav cxxxiii for Vesling's portrait and this catalogue no. 25026i for the title page to the 1647 edition). Vesling indicates to four gentlemen illustrations of the heart in a book displayed by a draped skeletal corpse. Only two details of these illustrations correspond with Vesling's plate on the heart (Tab. 1, Cap. X). Suspended from two pilasters is a swag made up of surgical instruments. Through an arch topped with two angels holding a cartouche with a skull crowned with laurel leaves one sees a view of buildings"]]> Lettering

This painting depicts Joseph Lister’s discoveries that had led to the promotion of antiseptic surgery by Agnew and others, which contributed to Eakins’ depiction of Agnew and his team of doctors as wearing clean white gowns, using sterilized instruments in a covered case, and benefiting from the services of a nurse."]]> Etchings
