  • Title: [Iconography of embryos and fetuses in the treaties of delivery and anatomy from 16th century till 18th century].
    Author: Morel MF.
    Journal: Hist Sci Med; 2009; 43(1):15-26. PubMed ID: 19852242.
    Abstract:
    Leonardo', Eurakius' and Jacob Rueff's carved woods focus attention as they are sketches of foetuses in breech presentation. From the very beginning foetus is a little man made in the image of God in the works of Guillemeau, Mauriceau and Viardel. Later the liking for Baroque made the Putti, embryos with kindly faces created in Padua and Venice. Hunter's treatise finishes this picturesque review.
