This 1908 photograph by Giulio Chiarugi, titled *Anatomische foto van een mannelijk lijk: 'de vorm van de borstpartij in relatie tot het skelet' (Die Form der Brust in ihren Beziehungen zum Skelette)*, depicts the upper torso of a male cadaver with the ribcage highlighted in yellow. The stark composition emphasizes the relationship between the human body and its skeletal structure, reflecting the scientific and artistic interests of the early 20th century. This anatomical study, while confronting, offers a glimpse into the world of medical photography and its role in understanding the complexities of the human form.
