EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient Greek doctor Hippocrates the Great, also known as Hippocrates of Cos, alongside Galien. The fresco is a remarkable piece of art that adorns the crypt of Anagni Cathedral in Lazio, Italy. Created by an unknown artist during the 13th century, this painting beautifully captures two significant figures in medical history. Hippocrates, who lived around 460 BC to 370 BC, is widely regarded as one of the most influential physicians in ancient Greece. His contributions to medicine and his ethical principles have had a lasting impact on healthcare practices throughout history. Galien, on the other hand, was a prominent physician who lived between 129/131 AD and 201/216 AD. The composition depicts both doctors engaged in what appears to be deep conversation or consultation. Their presence exudes wisdom and expertise as they stand beside a box filled with medical tools and writing materials. A jug nearby suggests their involvement with medicinal concoctions. This artwork not only serves as a testament to their legacy but also highlights the importance of communication and knowledge exchange in medicine across different time periods. It is truly fascinating how this fresco bridges centuries together through its depiction of these revered figures. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful capture allows us to appreciate this historical masterpiece while reminding us of the rich heritage that exists within our world's artistic treasures.
