EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Wounded" by John Evan Hodgson takes us back to a scene of intense anguish and distress. The print, dating back to 1878, was originally created as an illustration for The Graphic. It depicts a moment from the first part of William Shakespeare's play "Henry VI" specifically Act IV, Scene I. In this powerful image, we witness the aftermath of a violent encounter where knives have left their mark on the wounded limb of one unfortunate individual. The resolute expression on his face reveals both physical pain and emotional turmoil. His body language speaks volumes about his fear of death and shrinking away from further harm. The artist masterfully captures the wretchedness and desperation that accompany such injuries. As we gaze upon this print, our hearts are filled with empathy for this distressed soul who is in dire need of medical assistance. "Wounded" not only highlights the suffering endured by individuals in times past but also serves as a reminder of the advancements made in medical science and healthcare over time. It invokes thoughts about how ancient civilizations sought solace in figures like Asclepius (Asklepios), the Greek god associated with healing and medicine. This thought-provoking artwork invites us to reflect on themes such as misery, anxiety, injury, and ultimately hope for recovery amidst despair. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem within its collection so that viewers can appreciate its artistic merit while contemplating humanity's enduring struggle against physical afflictions throughout history.
