Description:

'The Courtiers' Anatomists' is about dead bodies and live animals in Louis XIV's Paris - and the surprising links between them. Examining the practice of 17th-century anatomy, Anita Guerrini reveals how anatomy and natural history were connected through animal dissection and vivisection.
