{"product_id":"bloedvaten-lucas-kilian","title":"Bloedvaten - Lucas Kilian","description":"\u003cp\u003eA precise seventeenth-century anatomical engraving by Lucas Kilian, depicting the structure of blood vessels with technical clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by the German artist Lucas Kilian represents a specific approach to anatomical documentation common in the early seventeenth century. Kilian, a member of a prominent family of engravers based in Augsburg, produced numerous works that bridged the gap between artistic practice and scientific observation. This particular study focuses on the structure of blood vessels, rendered with the precise, controlled line work characteristic of copperplate engraving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe image displays a clinical detachment, prioritising clarity and structural accuracy over aesthetic embellishment. The artist employs hatching to define the tubular forms, creating a sense of volume and depth within the vessels. Such illustrations were often produced for medical treatises or anatomical atlases, where the objective was to provide students and practitioners with a reliable visual reference for human anatomy. The inclusion of a lettered marker suggests this print was part of a larger, labelled series intended for educational use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the work demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship associated with the Kilian workshop. The lines are clean and deliberate, allowing for the representation of small-scale anatomical features without loss of detail. While the subject matter is strictly functional, the execution reflects the broader European interest in empirical study during the Baroque period. This print offers a glimpse into the intersection of early modern science and the graphic arts, where the engraver acted as a vital mediator of knowledge. It is a piece that appeals to those interested in the history of medicine, the development of scientific illustration, and the technical rigour of seventeenth-century printmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/anatomical-study-of-the-human-throat-tab-vii-robbert-muys\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAnatomical Study of the Human Throat (Tab.
