'Jan Van Calcar' was a Flemish painter and a pupil of Titian who spent most of his working life in Italy, dying in Naples. He is credited (by Vasari, Carel van Mander and others), with the famous woodcut illustrations of the anatomist Andreas Vesalius's famous works; most notably the anatomical study of the human body entitled ''De humani corporis fabrica libri septem'' or ''On the Fabric of the Human Body in Seven Books'' (1543).
