EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MFC-S-000164-0002" we are transported back in time to witness a unique scene unfolding within the pharmacy of the Certosa del Galluzzo. The image showcases an intriguing mix of individuals, including three monks, two secular salespeople, and a client. Each person's presence adds depth and intrigue to the composition. The setting itself is filled with fascinating details that give us insight into the commerce and trade of that era. On the counter before them lies an assortment of objects, such as a set of scales, two phials, and even a stuffed bird of prey. These items hint at the importance placed on medicine during this period. The attire worn by each individual further enhances our understanding of their roles within society. The monks don their traditional habits, symbolizing their commitment to religious life and devotion to Christian beliefs. In contrast, the secular salespeople can be seen wearing fashionable clothing indicative of their involvement in worldly affairs. This portrait not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites contemplation about various themes such as religion, male identity, and fashion trends prevalent during that era. It is worth noting that this print was taken before 1896 by Alinari—an esteemed photographer known for his ability to capture compelling scenes from everyday life. Through his lens, we are granted access to glimpses of history that would otherwise remain hidden or forgotten. As we admire this remarkable image from Alinari's collection—let us appreciate its artistic value while pondering upon its historical significance—a testament to human curiosity and our eternal quest for knowledge through medicine and spirituality alike.
