Journal Article
Anna Morandi: anatomist of Enlightenment Bologna
2018
Overview
The status of Anna Morandi (1714–74) is complicated by her concurrent role as an artist: she was one of the pre-eminent creators of accurate wax models of tissues and organs.The discoverer of “animal electricity” Luigi Galvani, who studied medicine and surgery at the University of Bologna, wrote “she was the first to dare to form in wax… those most subtle and diaphanous parts of the body that would escape our very sight”.After rigorous examination by a committee of the Bolognese Senate, she was granted a modest 300 lire annually, a post as demonstrator in anatomy to the university, and the authority to dissect the bodies of patients who died at Bologna's hospital.Since a few years after her death, her work has been on display in the Museo di Palazzo Poggi.
