EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Youthful Frolics" takes us back in time to the ancient world of Hippocrates, the father of medicine. Created by Joseph Kuhn-Regnier in 1934, this colourful lithograph showcases a scene from "The Works of Hippocrates" depicting a lively moment filled with youthful energy. In this illustration, we witness a group of young individuals engaging in playful activities under the watchful eye of a Greek physician. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures their carefree spirit and exuberance through their animated expressions and dynamic poses. As we delve into this snapshot from antiquity, it becomes apparent that these frolicking youths are not merely indulging in innocent fun but rather participating in an unconventional medical treatment. The text accompanying the image reveals that they have been instructed to jump so high that their heels touch their buttocks—a practice believed to be beneficial for health according to Hippocratic teachings. This artwork offers us a glimpse into the lifestyle and practices prevalent during ancient Greece—where nudity was not uncommon within medical settings—and highlights the holistic approach towards well-being embraced by physicians like Hippocrates. With its rich historical context and vivid portrayal, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an intriguing window into our understanding of medicine throughout different eras.
