EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Hippocrates, the renowned Greek physician and father of medicine, refuses the generous gifts presented to him by Artaxerxes I, the Persian king of the Achaemenid dynasty. Painted in 1792 by Anne Louis Girodet de Roucy-Trioson, this oil on canvas masterpiece now resides in the Musee d'Histoire de la Medecine in Paris, France. The scene depicted here tells a powerful story. After saving several Greek cities from a devastating plague, Hippocrates caught Artaxerxes' attention. The Persian king desperately sought his assistance to combat a similar outbreak in Persepolis. However, despite being offered lavish presents as an incentive, Hippocrates stands firm in his principles and refuses to accept them. This refusal is significant as it symbolizes not only Hippocrates' unwavering dedication to his craft but also serves as the origin of the famous Hippocratic Oath that doctors take today. This oath represents their commitment to live with self-sacrifice and purity of purpose while serving humanity. Girodet's masterful brushwork brings this historical event to life with vivid detail and emotion. The composition highlights Hippocrates' noble stature and integrity as he rejects Artaxerxes' offerings with grace and determination. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the timeless values embodied by Hippocrates - principles that continue to inspire generations of medical professionals around the world today.
