Medicine's Michelangelo - The Man Behind The Paintings

The Anatomy Nerd Podcast

Francine Mary Netter Roberson is the daughter of Dr. Frank H. Netter and author of his biography, Medicine’s Michelangelo: The Life & Art of Frank H. Netter, MD. With some of Dr. Netter’s medical illustrations and non-medical paintings–some never before published–she tells his remarkable story. Frank Netter came from humble beginnings as a merchant’s son but had early artistic leanings. He attended medical school at the urging of his mother and subsequently had a surgery practice. His first illustrations for pharmaceutical companies were very popular, and his subsequent work influenced so many and secured his legacy as a great medical teacher. Francine gives a contextual and historical basis for Dr. Netter’s vanguard work and presents a personal introduction to the man behind the paintings.
