About The Author

Frank H. Netter

Frank H. Netter

Dr. Frank H. Netter was born in New York City in 1906. He studied art at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design before entering medical school at New York University, where he received his Doctor of Medicine in 1931. During his student years, Frank Netter’s notebook sketches attracted the attention of the medical faculty and other physicians, allowing him to augment his income by illustrating textbooks and articles. He continued illustrating as a sideline after establishing a surgical practice in 1933, but he ultimately opted to give up his practice in favor of a full-time commitment to art. After service in the United States Army during World War II, Frank began his long collaboration with the CIBA Pharmaceutical Company (now Novartis Pharmaceuticals). This 45-year partnership resulted in the production of the extraordinary collection of medical art so familiar to physicians and other medical professionals worldwide. Icon Learning Systems acquired the Netter Collection in July 2000 and continued to update Dr. Frank’s original paintings and to add newly commissioned paintings by artists trained in the style of Dr. Netter. In 2005, Elsevier Inc. purchased the Netter Collection and all publications from Icon Learning Systems. There are now over 50 publications featuring the art of Dr. Frank Netter available through Elsevier Inc.

Dr. Netter’s works are among the finest examples of the use of illustration in the teaching of medical concepts. The 13-book Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations, which includes the greater part of the more than 20,000 paintings created by Frank, became and remains one of the most famous medical works ever published.

The Netter illustrations are appreciated not only for their aesthetic qualities, but, more importantly, for their intellectual content. As Frank H. Netter wrote in 1949 “clarification of a subject is the aim and goal of illustration. No matter how beautifully painted, how delicately and subtly rendered a subject may be, it is of little value as a medical illustration if it does not serve to make clear some medical point.”" Dr. Netter’s planning, point of view, conception, and approach are what inform his paintings and what make them so intellectually valuable.

Frank H. Netter, MD, physician and artist, died in 1991.

The Atlas of Human Anatomy (7th edition) is a comprehensive anatomy atlas that is illustrated by physicians. It is world-renowned for its exquisitely clear and clinically relevant views of the human body. In addition to the famous work of Dr. Frank Netter, the atlas also features nearly 100 paintings by Dr. Carlos A. G. Machado, one of today’s foremost medical illustrators. The two physician-artists work together to highlight the most clinically relevant views of the human body. More than 50 radiologic images have been carefully selected to help bridge illustrated anatomy to living anatomy as seen in everyday practice.

The atlas features region-by-region coverage, including Muscle Table appendices at the end of each section. The illustrations are large, clear, and come with comprehensive labels of not only major structures, but also those with important relationships. The tabular material is in separate pages, and additional supporting material comes as a part of the electronic companion to keep the printed page focused on the illustration.

The 7th edition has undergone updates based on requests from college students and practitioners alike. The new Systems Overview section features brand-new full-body views of surface anatomy, vessels, nerves, and lymphatics. There is updated terminology based on the international anatomic standard, Terminologia Anatomica, with common clinical eponyms included. There are also more than 50 new radiologic images, some completely new views and others using newer imaging tools, included based on their ability to assist readers in grasping key elements of gross anatomy. In addition, there are more than 25 new illustrations by Dr. Machado, including the clinically important fascial columns of the neck, deep veins of the leg, hip bursae, and vasculature of the prostate. New Clinical Tables at the end of each regional section focus on structures with high clinical significance by providing quick summaries, organized by body system, and indicating where to best view key structures in the illustrated plates.

The Atlas of Human Anatomy (7th edition) is available in several ISBNs, including 9780323547086, 0323547087, 978-0323547086, 978-0323393225, 978-0323547093, 0323547095, and 9780323547093.
