Title
Portrait of the Swedish physician and polyhistor Olaus Rudbeck (also known as Olof Rudbeck, Olaus Rudbeckius) the Elder (1630-1702).
Description
English: Rudbeck was an anatomist, and one of the discoverers of the lymphic vessels in 1651-52 (discovered independently by the Dane Thomas Bartholin at about the same time), and was long professor of Medicine at Uppsala University. He also founded the earliest botanical garden in Uppsala (later named after Carolus Linnaeus) and initiated a major botanical work with detailed copperplate engravings, some of which were printed but many of which were destroyed in the Uppsala fire in 1702 before publication. He is also known as an engineer and architect, who, among other things, designed the anatomical theatre in the Gustavianum building in Uppsala, and as a speculative historical writer who tried to prove that Sweden was in fact the lost Atlantis.
