Skull anatomy by Leonardo da Vinci
Skull anatomy by Leonardo da Vinci. Historical artwork and notes on the anatomy of the human skull and teeth, by the Italian artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519). This bisected skull shows the external structure (right), and dissected facial sinuses (left), the air-filled spaces inside the bones of the face. The diagram at lower left shows the teeth present in one half of the mouth: 4 incisors, 2 canines, 4 pre-molars, and 6 molars. Da Vinci was the first anatomist known to have correctly noted the number and root structure of human teeth. The notes are an example of his mirror writing, which was written backwards from right to left, and could be read in a mirror

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Skull anatomy" by Leonardo da Vinci, a true masterpiece of historical artwork and scientific exploration. Created in the 16th century, this illustration provides an intricate view of the human skull and teeth, meticulously dissected by the brilliant Italian artist and scientist. Leonardo's attention to detail is evident as he presents both the external structure of the skull on the right side and reveals the inner facial sinuses on the left. These air-filled spaces within our facial bones are beautifully depicted through his skillful pencil strokes. One notable aspect of this artwork is Leonardo's groundbreaking understanding of dental anatomy. In a diagram at lower left, he accurately notes each type of tooth present in one half of a mouth: incisors, canines, pre-molars, and molars. This revelation marked him as one of history's first anatomists to correctly identify not only their number but also their root structure. The accompanying annotations are written in Leonardo's signature mirror writing style – backwards from right to left – which could be deciphered using a mirror. This unique code adds an intriguing element to his work while showcasing his exceptional intellect. As we admire this rare glimpse into Leonardo da Vinci's genius mind, we are reminded once again why he remains an icon even centuries after his time. His dedication to accuracy and innovation continues to inspire scientists, artists, and thinkers alike across generations.
