EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Georg Wolfgang Wedel (1645-1721), a German physician and astrologer whose life straddled the worlds of science and the occult. Born in the small town of Schönebeck in Saxony, Wedel studied medicine at the University of Leipzig before turning to astrology, a field that was both respected and reviled in the scientific community of the time. Wedel's expertise in both fields is evident in this portrait, which shows him dressed in the robes of a scholar, holding a medical text in one hand and an astrological chart in the other. The intricate details of the print, from the folds of his robe to the intricate patterns on the chart, suggest a meticulous and dedicated practitioner. Despite the controversy surrounding astrology, Wedel's medical prowess was undeniable. He served as a doctor in the army during the Thirty Years' War and later became the personal physician to the Duke of Saxony. In addition to his medical practice, Wedel published numerous works on astrology, including a popular almanac that was widely read throughout Europe. Wedel's integration of astrology into his medical practice was not without controversy. Some saw it as a valuable tool for predicting illnesses and prescribing treatments based on the positions of the planets, while others dismissed it as superstition. Regardless of one's views on astrology, Wedel's legacy as a physician and scholar remains significant. He was a man of his time, embracing the complexities and contradictions of the scientific world and using his knowledge to help those in need. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a fascinating historical figure, one who defied easy categorization and left a lasting impact on the fields of medicine and astrology.
