Andreas
Vesalius (1514–1564) became known as the “reformer of anatomy” during the
Renaissance. His masterpiece and most famous work, De Humani Corporis Fabrica, published in 1543, described various body systems and
individual organs. It also included beautiful anatomical illustrations.
Vesalius challenged many of Galen’s teachings, which had become accepted as
fact though they were incorrect.
