EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Major Physicians of Antiquity" takes us on a journey back in time to the ancient world. A fascinating fascimile from the Codex Constantinopolitanus of Dioscorides, this artwork showcases the brilliance and wisdom of renowned physicians and philosophers. In vibrant color lithography, we are introduced to a group of esteemed figures who have left an indelible mark on history. Among them is Chiron, the wise centaur known for his teachings in medicine and mentorship to heroes like Achilles. The botanist Dioscorides himself, son of Asclepius, stands tall as a symbol of medicinal knowledge passed down through generations. Accompanying these legendary healers are Xenocrates of Aphrodisias, Herclitus of Tarento, Machaon, Sextius Niger, and Pamphilos - each contributing their unique perspectives to the field. Their collective expertise spans various branches such as herbalism and philosophy. Preserved by the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France; this print captures not only their physical appearances but also their intellectual prowess. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later we can still draw inspiration from these trailblazers who dedicated their lives to understanding human health. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' meticulous preservation work with eArchives Charmet; this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate both artistry and historical significance simultaneously.
