New Artist's Monograph about Cajal

Welcome, everyone. I am thrilled to unveil part of my in-depth study on the life and work of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, revered as the pioneer of contemporary neuroscience. This illustrative study explores Cajal's narrative, backed by extensive archival explorations at Madrid's Instituto Cajal and on-location visits to key places across Spain where he lived and worked. With a rich blend of illustrations, paintings, personal narratives, and college-student art projects reflecting Cajal's influence, this study caters to those fascinated by the interplay of art and science. It acts as an invaluable tool to further comprehend and appreciate Cajal's enduring impact.
