Editing Andreas Vesalius (section)

== Scientific and historical impact ==

The influence of Vesalius' plates representing the partial dissections of the human figure posing in a landscape setting is apparent in the anatomical plates prepared by the Baroque painter [[Pietro da Cortona]] (1596–1669), who executed anatomical plates with figures in dramatic poses, most of them with architectural or landscape backdrops.<ref>''The Anatomical Plates of Pietro da Cortona'', Dover, New York, 1986. They were published in the 18th century. Twenty of the drawings for these plates are now in the Hunterian Library, Glasgow.</ref>

In 1844, botanists [[Martin Martens]] and [[Henri Guillaume Galeotti]] published ''[[Vesalea]]'', which is a plant [[genus]] in the honeysuckle family [[Caprifoliaceae]] and it was named in Vesalius's honour.<ref>{{cite book | last=Burkhardt | first=Lotte | title=Eine Enzyklopädie zu eponymischen Pflanzennamen |trans-title=Encyclopedia of eponymic plant names | publisher=Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum, Freie Universität Berlin | year=2022 | isbn=978-3-946292-41-8 | url=https://doi.org/10.3372/epolist2022|format=pdf |language=German |location=Berlin | doi=10.3372/epolist2022 | s2cid=246307410 |access-date=27 January 2022}}</ref>
