EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a physician in the 16th century, captured from Paul Lacroix's renowned work "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages". Published in London in 1878, this lithograph by the French School beautifully depicts an era of medical practice that was both fascinating and challenging. The image portrays a male doctor diligently tending to a sick female patient. With his expertise and compassion, he is dedicated to finding a cure for her ailments. The scene exudes an aura of healing as the physician employs various methods to alleviate her suffering. Intriguingly, this snapshot also sheds light on the social dynamics of that time period. The presence of a crippled or disabled woman receiving medical attention highlights society's recognition of their need for specialized care. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, medicine played an essential role in supporting those with physical challenges. Jost Amman's engraving skillfully captures this pivotal moment, showcasing not only the technical prowess but also the artistic sensibilities prevalent during the Renaissance era. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history while emphasizing humanity's eternal quest for better health and well-being.
