Tabula XXV — Vascular Anatomy by Bartolomeo Eustachi, 1783

This extraordinary hand-colored anatomical plate comes from the 1783 Rome edition of Bartolomeo Eustachi’s Romanae archetypae tabulae anatomicae. Marked “TAB. XXV.,” the composition presents a frontal male anatomical figure standing with legs spread and both arms dramatically raised. Rich red musculature is crossed by an intricate network of blue and pale vessels extending through the arms, torso, abdomen, pelvis, and lower limbs.

A graduated measurement frame surrounds the figure, reflecting Eustachi’s distinctive system for locating anatomical structures without covering the body with reference letters. Saturated hand coloring, precise engraved linework, exposed internal anatomy, and the figure’s theatrical pose give the plate a remarkable visual presence, balancing scientific observation with the expressive character of early anatomical art.
