{"product_id":"plate-89","title":"Heart, Stomach \u0026 Intestines- La Médecine Pittoresque","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis striking anatomical plate from La Médecine Pittoresque offers a remarkable window into the golden age of French medical illustration. Published under the direction of Antoine Laurent Bayle during the mid-19th century, the work presents the heart and stomach in their natural positions, revealed through carefully rendered surgical draping in a vivid blue that frames the intricate viscera within.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hand-colored steel engraving demonstrates the extraordinary skill of Parisian medical illustrators of this era, when France led the world in both medical education and scientific publishing. Each organ is meticulously depicted with subtle color gradations: the deep chocolate brown of the liver, the delicate pink of the heart, the mauve curves of the stomach, and the blue-green coils of the intestines. Numbered reference points guide the viewer through the anatomical landscape with scholarly precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA distinguished example of Romantic-era scientific illustration, this plate bridges the gap between clinical accuracy and aesthetic beauty. Plate 89 from a comprehensive series of 94, it represents both a significant medical document and a compelling work of art that continues to fascinate collectors of anatomical curiosities and medical antiques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.0\" x 7.25\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Authentic Vintage Posters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44705011925107,"sku":"AP7270","price":74.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/3005\/8556\/files\/PL._2089.jpg?v=1775586030","url":"https:\/\/www.authenticvintageposters.com\/en-nl\/products\/plate-89","provider":"Authentic Vintage Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
