We put these 240-year-old prints in a bath...intentionally. But why? Erin explains.
These prints by Antonio Cattani show the muscles and bones of the body at a life-size scale. 18th-century medical students and artists used these prints to study the human form. See them at the Getty Center until July 10 in "Flesh and Bones: The Art of Anatomy."
