Disembodied limbs were often posed in literal still lives. 脱离躯干的肢体通常作为静物写生的对象。

And some illustrations even included pop culture references. 一些插图甚至还能看到流行文化的影子。

This is Clara, a famous rhinoceros³ that was traveling Europe in the mid-1700s, 这是克莱拉，18世纪中叶游历欧洲的明星犀牛，

at a time when seeing a rhino² was an exciting rarity. 那时犀牛非常罕见。 

Including her in this illustration was akin⁴ to celebrity⁵ sponsorship today. 把它画进画里就相当于今天找明星代言。

The introduction of color then brought a whole new depth and clarity to anatomy⁶ that made it stunning⁷. 色彩的应用带来全新的清晰度和层次感，令解剖插画焕然一新。

By the early 20th century, 20世纪初，

the perfect balance of science and art had finally been struck with the emergence⁸ of medical illustrators. 科学与艺术的完美平衡因医学插画家的出现而实现了。

They created a universal representation of anatomy 他们创造了一套通用解剖表现手法， 

something that was neither alive nor dead, that was free from those influences of artistic⁹ culture. 无关生死，也不受艺术文化的影响。 

And this focus on no-frills accuracy was precisely¹⁰ for the benefit of medical education. 这种毫无夸张的准确性使医学教育从中受益， 

And this is what we get to study from today. 这也是我们如今使用的教学材料。

But why is it that medical illustration -- both past and present -- captures our imaginations? 但为何医学插画从古至今都能激发我们的想象力呢？

Now, we are innately¹¹ tuned¹² into the beauty of the human body. 我们天生懂得欣赏人体之美。

And medical illustration is still art. 医学插画依然是静态艺术。
