Leonardo da Vinci's marvellous anatomical drawings have been praised by both artists and medical historians over the centuries. Specific reference is made here to Leonardo's drawings of the act of sexual intercourse. It is shown that his illustrations are not based purely on original observation. Rather, they are an attempt to illustrate and clarify anatomy and physiology as presented in the textbooks of the time.
几个世纪以来,列奥纳多·达·芬奇令人惊叹的解剖学绘图一直受到艺术家和医学史学家的赞誉。这里特别提到了列奥纳多关于性交行为的绘图。结果表明,他的插图并非纯粹基于原始观察。相反,它们是为了阐释和厘清当时教科书里所呈现的解剖学和生理学知识而做的尝试。
