In the article Dr. Barreto says:
"Why wasn't this ever seen before? First, because very few people have the sufficient anatomical knowledge to see these pieces like this. I do because that's my profession."
I guess we are supposed to believe Michelangelo had the equivalent anatomical knowledge of a present-day doctor. The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me. |

I skimmed the article, but I have to ask Why would Michaelangelo do it?
As for the doctor's comment Captain Al quoted, I say....this guy's the first doctor to ever look at the Sistine Chapel's work of art?
People see what they want to see..... |

If the heart and the shoulder joint were in proper positions relative to eachother, then I might believe it. But since he didn't say they were, I'm sure they weren't. |

Well, at least it's a more interesting claim than most. Sounds like a story worth following, well, for a little while. Of course, the art world moves slowly. Wonder what Alex would call on this? |

from my understanding of the article Mike simply his images of organs in his paintings. it would have been no great effort for him to exhume some criminals and chop them open to peer inside. in fact, anatomy was much easier in those days as it wasnt considered bad taste to dissect criminals after their executions. |

Sure, Nick, nowadays isn't that what they call an autopsy? |
