Brain images hidden in Renaissance art?
Kudos to Neatorama for linking this fascinating article in Streetanatomy which suggests that some Renaissance painters used disguised images of the human brain in the composition of their paintings. The image embedded above is familiar to everyone – Michaelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam.” Underneath it is the same image with a sagittal section of the brain superimposed. The image below is Gerard David‘s “Transfiguration of Christ” paired with a coronal section of the brain. Is this real, or just a curious coincidence?
