About the Author

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 degree in 1931. During his student years, Dr. Netters notebook sketches attracted the attention of the medical faculty and other physicians, allowing him to augment his income by illustrating articles and textbooks. 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, Dr. Netter 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. Netters 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. Netter available through Elsevier Inc.
Dr. Netters 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 Dr. Netter, became and remains one of the most famous medical works ever published. The Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy, first published in 1989, presents the anatomic paintings from the Netter Collection. Now translated into 16 languages, it is the anatomy atlas of choice among medical and health professions students the world over.
The Netter illustrations are appreciated not only for their aesthetic qualities, but, more importantly, for their intellectual content. As Dr. 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. Netters planning, conception, point of view, and approach are what inform his paintings and what make them so intellectually valuable.
Frank H. Netter, MD, physician and artist, died in 1991.

It’s been years since my medical school days but I still need my Netter now and then, and I swear my old textbook still smells like formaldehyde. Not to mention it’s hard to lug around. I was worried the ebook would not do justice to these fantastic illustrations, but I was wrong. And I love being able to zoom in and out on the illustrations and labels. It’s easier to see exactly which structure has been tagged when you can zoom. I’m biased toward Netter because I used it as my med school text, but this indispensable reference is now at my fingertips whenever I need it thanks to the ebook. I love it. Just one more note, I have been viewing the book on my Kindle app for iPad, so I don’t know how well the zoom works on other platforms. With the iPad app its very easy to navigate and zoom in and out.

The best Atlas of Human Anatomy! New edition comes with x-rays, CT and MRI studies. Great summary tables at the end of each chapter.

Could not recommend this atlas more! I am a medical student and used this book along with the Netter’s coloring book to study for my anatomy exams. This atlas beautifully depicts all the key anatomical features you need to know, plus relevant functional systems in the human body. You cannot go wrong with this atlas! Recommended for high school, college, nursing, or medical students/professionals.
