This 1852 work by anatomist Robert Knox (1791–1862) discusses the lives of French naturalists Georges Cuvier and Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, exploring how anatomy influenced emerging evolutionary theories. It also addresses anatomy's relation to fine art by evaluating the lives and labours of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael.
