Leonardo's anatomical work represents the pinnacle of his scientific studies, blending traditional knowledge and meticulous direct observation, as illustrated through his dissections of various animals.
Leonardo dissected numerous animals, including horses, bears, and dogs, not only to understand animal anatomy but also to draw parallels to human structure, showcasing the interconnectedness of life.
Although it is challenging to determine a singular methodology in Leonardo's studies of anatomy, his drawings and notes reflect his broader aims and scientific investigative methods.
Martin Clayton emphasizes the value of Leonardo's animal anatomical studies as providing insights into his scientific approach and illustrating the dynamics of human versus animal anatomy.
