Resumen

MORENTE, Maribel. Modelling science: the ceroplastics of Ignacio Lacaba in the Colegio de Cirugía de San Carlos, Madrid. Dynamis [online]. 2016, vol.36, n.1, pp.27-45. ISSN 2340-7948.

Models made of wax had enormous diffusion in the anatomical teaching of the 18th century. It transcended the borders of a science that impregnated with scientific knowledge the artistic expression of beauty. Based on this premise, the San Carlos Royal College of Surgery created in Madrid a large collection of anatomical models, which is currently maintained by the Javier Puerta Anatomy Museum in the School of Medicine at Madrid Complutense University. The collection began in 1786 with Ignacio Lacaba, the first dissector of the Surgery College of Madrid, whose artistic sensibility and deep knowledge of anatomy contributed and facilitated harmonization between the work of the wax sculptors and language and anatomical expression.

Palabras clave : Ceroplastic; anatomy; Ignacio Lacaba; San Carlos College of Surgery; "Javier Puerta" Anatomical Museum.
