The synthesis of the scientist and artist is best exemplified in the person of Sir Charles Bell. The famous surgeon, anatomist, physiologist, and educator was also an accomplished artist who used his talents for the enrichment of science as well as art. In the illustration of his many anatomical and surgical writings, he utilized draftsmanship with consummate skill. A fine anatomist and a great collector, his museum of anatomical and pathological preparations was second only to John Hunter.
