BIDLOO (Govard) Ontleding des menschelyken Lichaams, Gedaan en beschreeven door Govard Bidloo Uitgebeeldt, naar het Leeven, in Honderd en vyf Afteekeningen, Door de Heer Gerard De Lairesse. Utrecht, Van Poolsum, 1728. In plano: engraved title, 5f, A-Qqq; illustrated with 106 plates out of text (one double page). Beautiful Dutch binding in contemporary stiff vellum, spine ribbed, title in black ink on the spine, large diamond-shaped cold iron in the centre of the boards in the Duseuil style. A very fine copy. Splendid baroque anatomical atlas. "For Lairesse, the anatomical illustrations that Bidloo asked him to undertake were the occasion for an artistic meditation on anatomy: he showed his figures in an emotional, almost tender manner, contrasting the raw dissected parts with the full, soft surfaces of uncut flesh (flayed and bound figures in nightwear or bedding, ordinary household objects such as books, jars, or cupboards on the same stage as cut torsos or limbs, and in a plate showing a fly crawling on an open abdomen). He gave a new expression to the meaning of the act of dissection"; masterpieces of Dutch Baroque art. (Waller 1039).
