It
started with a tweet from Public Domain Review that really snagged my
eyeballs.
I
retweeted, got curious, and did some Googling—I mean investigating.
Turns
out it's not an obscure proto-surrealist, but Frederick Ruysch, a 17th
century Dutch anatomist who pioneered the preservation of bodies and
parts by injecting them with liquid wax.
He
made actual dioramas, and others drew them.
Ain't
the social media wonderful?
