Crisóstomo Martinez(1638-1694) was a Valencian painter and engraver known for his anatomical atlas of anatomy. He has been ascribed to the Spanish intellectual movement called "Novator" which meant the timid beginnings of a scientific revolution late in this country in the late seventeenth century. The most innovative aspects of his work was an interest in embryology and microscopy, which he applied to the study of "fresh" osteology.
