EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Inhalation Therapy" takes us back in time to ancient Greece, where the renowned physician Hippocrates made groundbreaking contributions to medicine. The illustration, originally featured in The Works of Hippocrates from 1934, showcases a scene of medical treatment that highlights the ingenuity and wisdom of this era. The image depicts a female patient receiving inhalation therapy for her illness. A lamp is lit and then extinguished before being held under her nostrils, allowing her to inhale the fumes. This method was believed to have healing properties and was used as a form of cure during antiquity. The composition exudes an aura of serenity as we witness the interaction between the patient and her male doctor. It serves as a reminder of how far medicine has come while honoring the foundations laid by pioneers like Hippocrates. Through this artwork, we are transported into an ancient world where physicians relied on their knowledge and intuition to treat ailments. It invites contemplation about our own advancements in healthcare today and encourages appreciation for those who paved the way for modern medicine. This mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images captures not only a moment in history but also embodies themes such as smoke, sickness, treatment, health, and female empowerment within its brushstrokes—a true testament to art's ability to transcend time and evoke emotions across generations.
