Caryatids in the form of spellati (skinless figures) by Ercole Lelli in the anatomical theater of the Archiginnasio, University of Bologna. The canopy they support holds an allegorical figure of Anatomy, along with a putti clutching a bone. See Cushing, Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine, v 9, n 3, 204–05. Photo by Renée DeVoe Mertz.
