EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a fascinating glimpse into the world of 17th-century medicine. In this print by Jan Josef Horemans, we witness a scene that showcases both the skill and compassion of doctors during that era. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the doctor himself, depicted as an angelic figure administering aid to a sick man. Dressed in traditional attire, with wings spread wide and a serene expression on his face, he exudes an air of divine intervention. This portrayal suggests that doctors were seen as saviors, capable of bringing relief and healing to those in need. Surrounding them are various elements that provide insight into the setting. A chamber pot sits inconspicuously in one corner, reminding us of the less glamorous aspects of medical care at the time. Through a window adorned with delicate curtains, we catch glimpses of sunlight streaming in and illuminating every detail within the room. A luxurious four-poster bed takes center stage, draped with sumptuous fabrics and adorned with intricate carvings. The tiled floor adds to the opulence while providing practicality for cleanliness purposes. Above it all hangs a beautifully lit baldaquin, adding an ethereal touch to this intimate space dedicated to healing. This remarkable print not only serves as a testament to Horemans' artistic talent but also offers us valuable insights into historical perceptions surrounding healthcare practices. It reminds us that throughout history
