“The apothecary holds out a large volume with the title ‘De Defabrica’. Taking the book, the painter runs his fingers across the leather cover, then lifts it open. “Where did you find it?” “When? Last week. It’s the first anatomy book since Vesalius, written by Adriaen van den Spieghel.” “No, where?” As the painter flips open the thick pages, he finds many illustrations and detailed fragments of body parts he has never even heard of before. “I have many sources, young man.” On hearing a bell – a customer has arrived – he advances towards the door. “Look it over, but be sure to return it.” — Sarah Emily Miano
