EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Hippocrates, the renowned Greek physician of antiquity. The image showcases his distinguished appearance, with a long and flowing beard that adds to his air of wisdom and authority. Created by an unknown European artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of Hippocrates' contribution to medicine and his lasting impact on the field. Hippocrates is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in medical history. As a practitioner and teacher, he revolutionized healthcare practices during ancient times. His teachings emphasized observation, clinical experience, and ethical conduct - principles that still resonate in modern medicine today. The engraving also features various elements that symbolize different aspects of Hippocratic medicine. A profile view highlights his intellectual prowess while coins allude to his role as a coin maker and moneychanger – professions closely associated with physicians at that time. Displayed against a black-and-white backdrop, this artwork exudes an aura of historical significance. Its inclusion in Die Welt in Bildern (Hottinger, 1881) further solidifies its place within the annals of medical history. As we gaze upon this striking portrait, we are reminded not only of Hippocrates' contributions but also how far medicine has come since then. This print serves as a timeless reminder of our collective journey towards better health and well-being throughout centuries past – truly an invaluable piece for any art enthusiast or lover of medical history alike.
