EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Breath of Youth" takes us back in time to the world of ancient Greek medicine. Created by Joseph Kuhn-Regnier in 1934, this colorful lithograph is a part of The Works of Hippocrates collection. In this illustration, we witness a scene that depicts the delicate balance between sickness and health. A female patient lies on her sickbed while a male physician attentively examines her breath for any signs of illness. This moment captures the essence of medical treatment in antiquity, where physicians relied heavily on their senses to diagnose and cure ailments. The image beautifully portrays the importance placed on understanding the human body's intricacies during that era. It showcases not only the skill and knowledge possessed by these early doctors but also their dedication to finding remedies for various illnesses. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into an age when medicine was still evolving, guided by figures like Hippocrates himself. The print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding and practice of healthcare. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection invites us to reflect on our own appreciation for modern medicine while honoring the wisdom passed down through generations from those who came before us.
