EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century painting by Ferdinand de Braekeleer the Elder takes us back in time to a scene at the dentist's office. Titled "Chez le dentiste" or "At the Dentist" this oil on wood artwork measures 39x28.5 cm and is part of a private collection. The composition depicts a man seated in a dental chair, accompanied by his loyal canine companion. The dentist, dressed in traditional attire, attentively examines his patient's teeth while holding onto a walking stick with one hand. The vibrant colors used by Braekeleer bring life to the scene, capturing both the anxiety and discomfort often associated with dental visits. This painting not only showcases the artist's skillful technique but also offers insight into medical practices during that era. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of healthcare advancements and treatment methods. Braekeleer masterfully captures various elements within this piece - from the intricate details of the dental instruments to the expressions on each character's face. Through his artistry, he conveys not only physical suffering but also explores themes of illness and human vulnerability. "Chez le dentiste" stands as an example of how art can provide glimpses into historical contexts while evoking emotions that transcend time periods. This remarkable work invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences with medicine and health while appreciating Braekeleer's artistic prowess.
