Claudius Galenus, also known as Galen, was a renowned Greek physician who lived from 130 to 201 AD. His contributions to the field of medicine have left an indelible mark on history. One can catch a glimpse of his legacy through various depictions and illustrations that have survived over time. In a fresco found in the crypt of the Cathedral in Anagni, Italy, dating back to 1928, an unknown artist captured Galen's image. The portrait reveals a man with wisdom etched onto his face, reflecting years of study and experience. Another depiction shows Galen assisting a wounded gladiator in the circus of Bergamo. This scene highlights his dedication not only to theoretical knowledge but also practical application - he believed that observation and hands-on experience were crucial for understanding human anatomy. In Ms. 2046 folio 261, we find an illustration portraying Galen as a scientist at work. This image serves as evidence of his meticulous approach towards research and experimentation. The Codex Constantinopolitanus provides us with insight into how Galen was revered among other great physicians of antiquity. A fascimile from this codex showcases him alongside other notable medical practitioners, emphasizing his esteemed position within the medical community. Ms. 2046 folio 1 presents another fascinating scene - an instruction session led by Galen himself at the beginning of Aphorisms. This detail illustrates his commitment to education and sharing knowledge with others. Galen's influence extended beyond visual representations; it reached even printed works like the book published in Paris in 1530 bearing his name on its title page. The engraving captures both admiration for him as well as recognition for his significant contributions to medicine during that era. Throughout history, many artists sought inspiration from this remarkable figure named Claudius Galenus or Aelius Galenus - both names used interchangeably when referring to him - immortalizing his likeness in various forms.
