Jan Van Calcar (born circa 1499, died 1545) is credited with the famous woodcut illustrations of the anatomist Andreas Vesalius's famous works; most notably the anatomical study of the human body entitled De humani corporis fabrica libri septem or On the Fabric of the Human Body (1543).

These illustrations are still used by med students.

Hooray for useful art! Let's bring that back.
