He studied medicine in Paris but he was particularly impressed by the lectures given at the Jardin du Roi by the comparative anatomist Louis Daubenton and the surgeon Antoine Petit. In 1773, Vicq d'Azyr initiated a series of successful lectures on human and animal anatomy at the Paris Medical School, from which he received his medical degree in 1774. He was elected the same year at the Academy of Sciences at age 26, thanks to his outstanding contributions to comparative anatomy. Vicq d'Azyr became widely known after his successful management of a severe cattle plague that occurred in the southern part of France in 1774, an event that led to the foundation of the Royal Society of Medicine in 1778. As Permanent Secretary of this society, Vicq d'Azyr wrote several eulogies that were models of eloquence and erudition and worth him a seat at the French Academy in 1788. Vicq d'Azyr published in 1786 a remarkable anatomy and physiology treatise: a large in-folio that contained original descriptions illustrated by means of nature-sized, colored, human brain figures of a quality and exactitude never attained before. In 1789, Vicq d'Azyr was appointed physician to the Queen Marie-Antoinette and, in 1790, he presented to the Constituent Assembly a decisive plan to reform the teaching of medicine in France. Unfortunately, Vicq d'Azyr did not survive the turmoil of the French Revolution; he died at age 46 on June 20, 1794.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0317167100018722","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,12]],"date-time":"2014-12-12T15:27:10Z","timestamp":1418398030000},"page":"30-37","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["F\u00e9lix Vicq d'Azyr: Anatomy, Medicine and Revolution"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Andr\u00e9","family":"Parent","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0317167100018722_ref020","first-page":"250","volume-title":"M\u00e9moires de l'Acad\u00e9mie Royale des Sciences de Paris-Ann\u00e9e 1774","author":"Vicq d'Azyr","year":"1779"},{"key":"S0317167100018722_ref001","volume-title":"\u00c9loge de Vicq d\u2019Azyr lu \u00e0 la deuxi\u00e8me s\u00e9ance publique de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de m\u00e9decine, le 12 novembre 1797.","author":"Lafisse","year":"1797"},{"key":"S0317167100018722_ref005","first-page":"280","article-title":"Vicq d'Azyr, anatomy and a vision of medicine.
