Artist Bio:
John Hunter (1728-1793) was a Scottish surgeon and anatomist known for his groundbreaking work in the field of surgery and anatomy. He served as the surgeon to King George III and was a leading figure in the medical community of 18th-century London. Hunter made significant contributions to the understanding of human anatomy, particularly in the areas of the lymphatic system, the structure of the heart, and the anatomy of the human reproductive system.

Hunter was also a pioneer in the field of comparative anatomy, studying the anatomies of different species to gain insights into the functioning of the human body. His collection of anatomical specimens and preparations formed the basis of the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons in London, which remains an important resource for medical education and research. Hunter's work laid the foundation for modern surgical techniques and his legacy continues to influence the practice of medicine today.
