The Hydropaths - Second Treatment (plate 2), 1843
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white lithograph created by Charles Emile Jacque, a renowned artist of the 19th century. This artwork belongs to the Barbizon School, an artistic movement that emerged in France during that period. In this intriguing scene, we witness three men engaged in an alternative medical treatment known as hydropathy. The central figure, dressed as a doctor, pours water from a stepladder onto one of his patients seated in a washtub. The humorous element of this image lies in the expression on the patient's face, suggesting both surprise and skepticism towards this unconventional cure. Jacque's attention to detail is evident not only in the intricate lettering surrounding the composition but also in his portrayal of each character's occupation and role within society. The print captures not just a momentary interaction but also reflects broader themes such as healthcare practices and scientific advancements prevalent during that era. The use of lithography adds depth to the artwork while maintaining its monochromatic aesthetic. Through skillful printing techniques, Jacque successfully conveys texture and contrast between light and shadow. This piece can be found at the Art Institute Chicago, where it stands as a testament to Jacque's talent for capturing everyday life with wit and artistic finesse. It serves as both an important artifact from French heritage art history and an intriguing glimpse into alternative medicine practices of the time.
