Max
Brödel (June 8, 1870 – October 26, 1941) was a medical illustrator. Born
in Leipzig, Germany, he began his artistic career after graduating from the
Leipzig Academy of Fine Arts, working for Dr.
Carl Ludwig
. Under Ludwig’s instruction,
Brödel gained a basic knowledge of medicine and became recognized for his
detailed medical illustrations. In the late 1890s, he was brought to the
Johns Hopkins School of
Medicine
in
Baltimore to illustrate for
Harvey Cushing
,
William Halsted
,
Howard Kelly
, and other notable clinicians. In addition to
being a prolific medical illustrator, he developed new artistic techniques such
as the
carbon
dust technique
that
helped the advancement of the quality and accuracy of medical illustrations for
physicians. In 1911, he presided over the creation of the first Department of
Art as Applied to Medicine; located at the
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
, it continues to train
medical illustrators to this day. His graduates spread out across the world,
and have founded a number of
other academic programs
.
