EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the ancient world of medicine, showcasing seats of equal height. Taken from "The Works of Hippocrates" this illustration by Joseph Kuhn-Regnier transports us back to antiquity, where medical practitioners and patients sought healing in a harmonious setting. In this image, we witness the significance placed on equality between doctor and patient. The seats are meticulously designed to ensure both parties are at eye level, fostering an atmosphere of trust and respect. As the inscription suggests, "Les sieges autant que possible, seron hauteur egale" (seats as much as possible should be of equal height), emphasizing the importance of balance in healthcare interactions. Through vibrant colors and intricate details, Kuhn-Regnier brings to life the essence of Greek medicine practiced during Hippocrates' time. This snapshot into history reminds us that even centuries ago, physicians were dedicated to curing illnesses and promoting good health. The presence of both male and female figures further highlights the inclusivity within medical practices during this era. It serves as a testament to how gender played no role when it came to seeking or providing treatment. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded that while times have changed drastically since then, our pursuit for effective medical care remains constant throughout history.
