Body of Work

The works of Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci are among the most sublime ever produced, and they are rightly revered for them. Both men had an obsession with even the smallest details since they were perfectionists, especially when it came to the human form because they dissected cadavers to learn more about human anatomy.

Slicing up stiffs in the 16th century was a fairly ghastly process; in contrast to modern autopsy techniques, which include well-preserved subjects. It was also forbidden. However, this did not deter these pioneering artists from honing their skill, as seen by the masterpieces that can be found in renowned museums all over the world.
