Free Medicine's Michelangelo: The Life & Art of Frank H. Netter, MD
Dr. Frank H. Netter is a legend. Trained as both a physician and an artist, he was fortunate to have had an enormous impact on twentieth century medical education as one of the most gifted medical illustrators the world has ever known. And he was "beyond fortunate" to have had a daughter, Francine Mary Netter, who has written a biography of him that captures for posterity the depth and richness of the man behind all of those marvelous illustrations that still greatly influence medical students worldwide.
Dr. Netter had a large art studio in the family home on Long Island where they lived and in which his young daughter spent long hours with him while he created his medical "masterpieces". Later, after college and graduate schools, she became a writer focusing on the history of medicine. From the unique combination of these personal and professional vantage points she has been able to create this extraordinary biography that so intimately and effectively unveils her father's character and life story. In so doing she relies not just on her own close and private knowledge of her father, but also on all of her father's extensive family papers to which she alone has access, and extensive interviews with almost anyone significant who ever knew him in almost any capacity.
There is a parallel here. Whereas the father used his artistic genius to open up in amazing fashion the magnificent human body for close inspection by medical students, the daughter has repaid the favor on behalf of all of us by using her exceptional literary skill to open up in equally amazing fashion her father's remarkable life and character for the benefit and pleasure of all of us who ever marveled at his artistic wizardry and wished that we knew more about the magician behind it all.
And now we have it.
