Art and science have more in common than we think because both depend on the observation and questioning of the world that surrounds us. Their sources are interest, curiosity, desire to explore, questioning and challenge. Although these sources come from very ancient times, with the increasing interest in observations as a learning tool with the Renaissance, the descriptions become more accurate and scientific. The effort to recognize, understand and show the human body, which reached its peak with the artist Leonardo da Vinci, takes on a new identity with the anatomist Andreas Vesalius in the 16th century. Painting and graphic arts, which are integrated into medical science with anatomical representations, turn into “medical illustration” in the visualization of medical concepts over time. In the 19th century, medical artist Max Brödel opened new horizons with his education model and the technique he developed. The aim of this study is to examine the individual, institutional and academic contributions of Brödel, who brought a new perspective to medical illustration, and to give information about the carbon-dust technique he developed. In this context, the study is discussed within the scope of shaping and developing medical illustration with the vision of Max Brödel.
