Summary This work displays the bridging of two fields – namely dermatopathology and art. What is astonishing is that structures one sees through the microscope reveal aesthetic and artistic aspects and sometimes resemble in a startling way the designs of certain artists. Specific examples are illustrated to enhance the joy and appreciation of morphologic images.
