Andreas Vesalius
Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) was a Belgian anatomist and physician who is often referred to as the founder of modern human anatomy. His pivotal work, 'De humani corporis fabrica,' published in 1543, corrected many misconceptions about the human body that had persisted since ancient times. Vesalius emphasized the importance of direct observation and dissection, which significantly advanced the understanding of human anatomy and laid the groundwork for future medical studies.
