This article will investigate the origins of anatomical drawing as such, analyzing the work of three European Renaissance artists. The starting point for the selection of Jan Von Calcar (1499-1546), Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) and Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) is the work of Giorgio Vasari, The Lives of the Most Excellent Architects, Painters and Italian sculptors (1550), considered the first book on Art History. Likewise, the different reasons that lead to the implementation of a more empirical look within the visual arts and anatomical studies are reviewed, starting from the revolution of Andrea Vesalio, author of De Humani Corporis Fábrica (1543).Downloads
