Title A name given to the resource Early Anatomical Theater of Leiden University Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Johannes Woudanus (Painting) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Early 17th Century Description An account of the resource The drawing is a visual representation of the Leiden Anatomical Theater in Leiden, Netherlands. In 1597, Dutch professor Petrus put the anatomical theater into permanent use. Anatomical theaters of universities are regarded as one of the symbols of the Scientific Revolution in Europe. At the time, delving deep into understanding the human body and making sense of it was a novel concept. The move towards exploration got many individuals in the scientific communities interested and excited. In the Leiden Anatomy Theater, the dissections were carried out on the corpses of criminals and the dissection itself was regarded as a ceremony. Music accompanied the dissections and the room was covered with perfume smell ("The Anatomical..."). In these institues, mostly learned men and other members of the public would gather and discuss new ideas and theories about the human anatomy by physically experimenting and observing the human body. Dissections were carried out in public to give birth to new questions and find experimental evidence to make room for new arguments. Views on the Galenic theories and the humoral system were slowly changing and being challenged as new information and evidence came to light. The importance of blood and other bodily fluids were slowly being understood and realized ("The Anatomical..."). References: "HIS291: Leiden Anatomy Theater." Princeton University.
