Too often we hear that art and science are opposites; this thread provides a much needed reminder that so often they feed off, and take inspiration from, each other.
Also it features William Harvey, who, before he was a fellow at the Royal College of Physicians, was a Caian!

Know’st thou how thy lungs have attracted it?’
