Introduction

The aim of this presentation is to offer an outlay of the human anatomy useful for the novice and the advanced artist as well. Its main focus is on the principle body-parts as they are most appropriated to derive anatomical information from. Attention is given to the approach to the human anatomy, and to the selection of  illustrations suitable for learning. Web sites for more in-depth information are Gray's Anatomy 1901 and the Muscle Master List. Less consideration is attributed to the body in its entirety, as material in this respect is ample available. Completely left aside are aspects of artistic presentations, a topic best discussed in relation to art work itself. Scientific terms are used throughout the text to facilitate the access to the literature.
